This extremely short film is dedicated to chronophotography whichas is well knownis the prelude to cinema As with one of my earlier films dedicated to Muybridge The Naked Killer 1982 this one was excavated from books and catalogues that is from typographic ink I tried in a certain sense to reanimate the inanimable as does the photographer Duane Michals having only sometimes three or four frames I found older stroboscopic technology as well as more contemporary flicker effects to be very helpful here and there I attempted to realize the cinematic identification of Skladanowksy with Avedon contaminations precisely between creators of films and creators of photography contemporary or not It is surprising to see Michals a contemporary photographer bearing such a strong cinematographic resemblance to Londe the protofilmmaker I hope at least to have told the story of their direct commingling as if by a single secret author
