Ocular

kinema ikon, Viorel Simulov / Romania / 1985 / 5 min.


synopsis

In close proximity, through slow movements of the camera, the eye becomes an unknown organic planet floating in black space. The delicate double exposure does not disturb the clarity of its patient, strictly black-and-white gaze, which works its way through hairs and eyelashes, through pores and wrinkles, crevices, and craters.

biography

Viorel Simulov (1959) is a photographer, graphic designer, painter, and editor. In the 1980s, he made three black and white films as part of the kinema ikon collective: Ocular, Hand-writing (1984), and Liquid Landscape (1988).
