LeCristallin

法国实验短片女导演Carole Arcega作品。收录于LOWWAVE厂牌2007年法国当代实验影像合辑DVD中。Le cristallin 2002 - 16mm - colorSoundtrack : Frank RochardLe cristallin is a film in which one forgets the photography of cinema to find oneself in its film strip, where the film is a living organ. The fantasy of a fim as a physical continuation of the body, or that of our machine beings. Vision is the cinematographic organ. It looks like a vision from the inside of an eye. Dazzled, the pupil retracts and then dilates to the rhythm of the shutter. Light, the immediate material of the film, is what makes it exist.http://carolearcega.wordpress.com/Carole Arcega’s work is a hybrid mixture of experimental film, video art, art installations, and performances.
