Joost Rekveld: The Motors of Invention

Many of Joost Rekveld's early films find their inspiration in fundamental characteristics of the film apparatus. This programme provides an overview of the development of this strand in Rekveld's work, with the films VRFLM and #7 as two very different explorations of the 16mm filmstrip. The films #3, #5 and finally #11, Marey <-> Moiré show the evolution in Rekveld's reflection on how the medium of film deals with time. For these films he developed his own tools based on long exposures, scanning and chronophotography.
