Description

Involve framing a landscape; the interaction between a still camera on a bridge and watching the landscape as it moves. It records a dance: bridge, landscape, camera, moving steel structure. The highly formal structure of the film establishes relationships between different movements and material juxtapositions of trees/water/steel. Similarities can be seen between this film, the bridge sequence in Eisenstein's 'October' and the artist's sculptures.
