The proportions of the cloth correspond to the picture size of a 16mm film, its width is the distance between my two outstretched arms. At gallery shows the film is projected on the piece of linen that was used in the action so that the ambiguous identity of the static carrier of the image and the moving picture is stressed. The piece of cloth shrinks and almost disappears in the process while structuring and deter-mining the time of the film. Four variations were made: the one described above was the first. In the second a mask was placed before the lens to cover half the picture. After rewinding the negative in the camera the process was recorded a second time in order to expose the other half of the frame. In the third and fourth variations the mask was divided into four and eight parts resp. Written by Dòra Maurer See less
