Still Life
Sassi Pekka
An arrangement shot from eight different directions, each of which is shot from four angles and in three different sizes. The images are edited arbitrarily, so that the duration for each shot is only one frame. The result is a 3 second and 21 frame-long cubistic presentation of the arrangement, then looped to a one-minute film. The music as the emotional element is the backbone of the piece.
