Anna Kolosova. Bad Movie

Anna Kolosova. Bad Movie. 2001, DV, 3 min 50 sec

Nowadays old movies seem to be too slow. This video is a reaction to a pervasive sense of acceleration characteristic of modern life. The title of the film "Bad Movie" poses the question: what would happen if the speed of the film were to accelerate to the limits of perception, where the eye stops differentiating images and only blinking lines remain. Here there is also a hint of self-irony when one remembers that the film industry often considers video art to be simply a "bad movie".
This project has been realised with generous support of Pro Arte Institute and The Ford Foundation.
