Frames and Cages and Speeches / 1976

…experiments with frames and framing, cages and caging, speeches and speaking. It is a film ( a seven act ‘play’) which deals with the medium’s narration of us and our narration of it. Frames are developed according to the stories one believes in, Cages re-form experience into expression, and Speeches translate what we know into narration. An extension of work begun in the file Syntax. – M.H.

200 Stills at 60 Frames / 1970

In 1970 Graves made the first of five films.

She considered 200 Stills at 60 Frames and Goulimine, her earliest films about the camel, as study projects.

Analytical Studies IV: Blank Color Frames / 1976

Like ANALYTICAL STUDIES I, these short works each develop a different rhythmic and/or melodic idea using only rapid successions of color frames. The "Specimens" are called such because they are the "subjects" of (rephotography) analysis: "Specimen II" was intended to be the subject for the film EPISODIC GENERATION - although the footage, in itself, was successful, I did not find it adequate for its intended purpose; therefore, "Specimen IV" was created and was used (rephotographed) for EPISODIC GENERATION. The other works were studies for sections of the film DECLARATIVE MODE. (After titles, focus should be shifted to sharpen the edges of the screen.)

In Menstrual Frames / 2022

Color Sound Frames / 1974

Sharits produced Color Sound Frames by rephotographing strips of his previous films. He moved the strips, singly and in pairs, across a light table in front of the camera at various speeds. Sprocket holes of the original strips are visible at the edges of the frame, and the soundtrack of this film replicates the rat-a-tat of silent film sprocket holes played with the sound on. - CMOA

Falling Frames / 2015

Falling Frames is the first fragment of a series in which Langkamp explores the framing and visualization of three-dimensional perspective through the two-dimensional medium of video, both technically as well as conceptually. To record the work, a special device was built that's attached to a tall industrial crane, which contains a stack of wooden picture frames that can be released from a height of ten to fifteen meters. The camera is placed right in the center of the action and captures the frames' movement while they fall down. The slow motion recording of 240 still frames per second allows us to experience every millimeter of movement to the very detail. While the frames get smaller and smaller in perspective as they move further away from our view, they are immediately followed by the next frame and the next one, until they've all reached the floor and found a place to rest.
