How to Do Tilings Without Words: Gil Wolman's Lettrist Film L'anticoncept

摘要

We are watching a film. A man and woman sit smiling in the front row of a darkened room, where they also watch a film. In addition to seeing the audience, which numbers in the twenties, we see the projector, its alternating black-and-white rhythm of light, and the physical space in which the film within the film unfolds. From the vantage point of the camera and the fixed-frame single take, we are not privy to any of the images projected on the screen.
