ROTARIO

Björn Speidel / Germany / 2017 / International Premiere / 8 min.

synopsis

This stereoscopic 3D film explores field of vision by slicing the visible image into sections of time and space. The centrifugal images of movement are combined in surreal compositions in which the seams disappear and reappear in moving illusions.

"Stereoscopic films make sense if they make non in mono2D. ROTARIO provides the same film to each eye but with a one frame delay. The spinning carousel unfolds its depth in the spectator's vision only." B. Speidel
