A short film dedicated to his granddaughter Zoë that demonstrates all the characteristic traits of Breer’s animation: his humour, his favourite motifs (the hammer, a frog, graphic shapes, aeroplanes). What is the impact of an order such as the alphabet on the awakening mind of a child?

Linoleum
A filmed performance by Rauschenberg. There is no subject in a narrative sense. We see amongst the performers Breer with his Float-sculptures. -
77
In 77 we see a number of simple mechanic objects spiral out of a spray-paint nebula then implode into pure pattern and line. -
70
Made by Breer with spray paint and hand-cut stencils, this film was an attempt at maximum plastic intensity. -
69
Animated geometric volumes are following the codes of perspective and thus create the illusion of screen depth. -
Portrait of Robert Breer
An interview (with inclusion of the complete film Recreation) in the series that Chodorov made for the TV-Channel ARTE. -
Breathing
The movement of the line, and its place on the screen, and its density, the rhythms… make up the entire film. -
66
Colours, speed, illusion, images that remind us of the ‘cut out papers’ by Henri Matisse, or the paintings of Frank Stella.
