The Colonel’s Photograph

The Colonel’s Photograph

Martina Holá / Czech Republic / 2015 / 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.

biography

Martina Holá (1987) studied intermedia art under Jiří Přihoda at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts. Her film I Base My Being on Knowing You (2012) was screened at the Jihlava IDFF.
