1/57: Experiment with Synthetic Sound (Test)
โ 4.7 ยท 1957 ยท 1m ยท Documentary
Mostly dark, rejecting images which are repeated. A stone wall, the chamber of a revolver which is, at first not recognizable, a close-up of a cactus. The duration of the takes emphasises the photographic character of the pictures, simultaneously with a crackling, brutal sound. (Hans Scheugl)
