#23.2, Book of Mirrors

Joost Rekveld | Netherlands | 2002 | 12' |

| IFFR 2017

Inspired by concepts found in medieval and Renaissance optics, #23.2, Book of Mirrors was made with a set-up in which elementary optical principles are used to generate images. These are created by the interplay of light waves directly onto the emulsion and unconventional use of lenses, reproducing patterns of light outside of the camera.
