A continuous explosion. Breer made one hundred basic images, hundred pictures created by gestural brushstrokes, and made them switch positions for four thousand frames. This film is Breer’s last to rigorously pursue the image by images experiment with wholly opposed single frames – his so-called ‘consecutive pointillist approach.’

A Man and His Dog Out for Air
The first hand-drawn film by Breer that involved a continuous cartoon-like movement. One of his most accessible. -
Jamestown Baloos
Cut-outs of war machines and the figure of Napoleon encounter abstract shapes, line drawings, old-master landscapes and short bursts of ‘real-time’ la -

-
Colliding
Colliding was made entirely from Super8 footage and it was completed as a silent film in 1977. It could be described as a ‘structural documentary’. -

Breer filmed all kinds of things and tightened the rhythm by reducing the shots to lengths of three frames, two, or even one. -
Robert Breer at Home (Chez Robert Breer)
Breer in February 1992: he manipulates some of his mutoscopes, he leafs through some cards and a dome-shaped sculpture slowly moves across the space.
