The Colonel’s Photograph

director: Martina Holá

original title: La Photo du colonel

year: 2015

running time: 4 min.

synopsis

Excerpts from a television interview with Eugène Ionesco in an adaptation of his absurd story The Colonel’s Photograph, which is dominated by the motif of a swimming pool that conceals drowned bodies. The visual pun is a compilation of techniques: animation, video, 3D graphics, and text, which give the seemingly random scenes a sort of structure.
