Mosaic Mécanique

Directing: Norbert Pfaffenbichler

Synopsis

All shots of the slapstick comedy A Film Johnnie (USA, 1914) are shown simultaneously in a symmetrical grid, one after the other. Each scene, from one cut to the next, from the first to the last frame, is looped. A pulsing visual polyrhythm is produced as a result, because of the shots' varying lengths. The total length of the mosaic film corresponds precisely to that of the original.
