Explanatory Notes about experimental film. Werner Nekes talks about his theory of film with examples of "Kelek", "Hurrycan", "Spacecut", "Diwan" und "Mirador".
"Nekes now precisely controls the complicated interlocking of agitated images. The unexposed film runs through the camera several times in succession. According to a predetermined plan, only specific frames, so called 'Kinefelder' (at least two of them are needed to attain visual motion) are exposed. What has been filmed appears to be 'normal' enough on screen. Yet it seems segmented, somehow new and assembled in a strange, fascinating way. Nekes works with film images like a composer with polyphonic structures. The motif appears in many variations, diversely superimposed, conducted contrapuntually and in unison. Nekes calls this principle 'polyvisual.' Art historians are familiar with such modes of perception since Cubism, which operated with simultaneous views of one and the same object."--Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, April 20, 1979.
