Couleurs mécaniques

1979 · 16 min
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Couleurs mécaniques presents, in the order they were filmed, six different viewpoints of a merry-go-round. In each case the focus is adjusted so as to select, isolate and inscribe parts of the filmed scene onto the film strip in a way that allows elements of color in movement to be recombined in a particular manner during the projection of the film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a rigorous experiment from a single subject: the merry-go-round. It relies on precise focal adjustments to isolate and recombine fragments of color and motion, exploring the very mechanics of filmic perception and the transformation of the familiar into abstract light.

What lingers after the projection is a sense of having witnessed the raw materials of cinema—light, color, and rhythm—separated and rejoined. It’s a pure visual symphony that recalibrates the eye. — MovieFinder Editorial
