old time conceptualism http://www.alansondheim.org/pvd06.jpg Jean Luc Godard https://youtu.be/v2JCEuUbV6I http://www.alansondheim.org/pvd19.jpg Antonioni http://www.alansondheim.org/pvd21.jpg Antonioni In the early 1970s I made a series of works around Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, including conceptual films; several of these were based on a road up to College Hill. I stood at the top, shooting towards oncoming traffic, using the zoom to keep the approaching cars the same visual size (i.e. the same subtended angle) as long as possible. The result is a film in which the cars appear stationary while the landscape recedes. Now in this brief maquette, I walked down a sidewalk, zooming in; I then turned around and continued walking backwards, zooming out. The result of all of this is the appearance of speeding up and slowing down, yet another optical illusion. Think of this as a maquette for Godardioni Antonard, an unparalleled filmmaker whose filmstills are above as well. oldtimeconceptualism No views 0 0 Share asondheim Published on Sep 11, 2017 old time concept art, conceptualism, cpnceptualism art 0 Comments Sort by
