Painting (I)

Directed by Scott Barley

A thirty second tracking shot, moving toward, beneath, and away from a large tree at night is abstracted by slowing the original footage down to 360 minutes, rendering the movement in the shot imperceptible to the naked eye. "I wanted to undo all that is conventionally considered cinema, to reveal the tensions between still image and moving image, stasis and movement, space and temporality, the perceptible and the imperceptible." — Scott Barley
