Ecosystem 2

1983 5min

"I thought of disassembling one second by sticking opaque scotch tape on 8mm films to shut existing images. How much information can we put in 1/24 second? How much can we perceive? As a result, I felt that one single second was a surprisingly long time! An image on a frame caused an afterimage in the total darkness. Is an afterimage formed somewhere between our perception and memory?"
