Axiom of Choice

The film presents a striking visual experience, showcasing Jonas and Sebastian Mekas against a dark backdrop, illuminated in a manner akin to Rembrandt's portraits. This artistic choice highlights the interplay of chiaroscuro, emphasizing the heads of the subjects as they rotate.

Axiom of Choice engages with various cinematic references, from the zoetrope to Ernie Gehr’s film Serene Velocity. It not only pays homage to film history but also invites viewers to consider the mechanics of image-making. The presence of the larger-than-life machine in Michael Snow’s La Région Centrale further enriches this exploration of filmic concepts.

Collectors interested in experimental cinema will find value in this film's artistic approach and its commentary on the nature of filmmaking. The unique visual style and thematic depth make it a notable piece in the realm of avant-garde cinema.
