Kinetic Pictures
Ruutsalo Eino
The film makes an attempt to provide a new basis for pictorial expression by means of pre-prepared and post-treated film and by the use of cinematic motion as a framework. The power of the picture frame is reinforced with painting. Various types of film, glossy, black, picture-line, negative and positive, have been scratched, etched, perforated, drawn on or painted, the aim being to create values enhancing the tension of the picture field.
