Ken Jacobs: “Movie That Invites Pausing”
A drawing to accompany MOVIE THAT INVITES PAUSING. Just watched it through again, giving it more time than before. Astonishing; it’s off on it’s own, the maker is as mystified as anyone. Hope I can make another.
Reader/adventurer: I’m looking to see this projected big, but I cannot think of it as one of my films: it is unquestionably a video and that only. There are many black frames between images and -when projected- the projectionist is asked to stop often and on an image. Fat chance. You will meet up with the problem seeing it at home. The space bar together with the single frame advance key (bottom right) should do it.
Things happen electronically during viewing. Give it time, it feeds on time, and it goes through changes. A young Einstein might explain.
