Transformation by Holding Time (Landscape)

About This Movie

Transformation by Holding Time (Landscape) is an intriguing, almost hypnotic watch. This film, the first of three, unfolds gradually as the screen fills with Polaroid images. Shot in one long take from a fixed angle, it has this fascinating stillness, almost meditative, where you feel time stretching. The filmmaker is a presence on the moor, capturing snapshots that are not just images but moments of stillness and reflection. You can’t help but get lost in the pacing and the subtle interplay of art and landscape. It’s a unique exploration of the relationship between film and photography, and it simply stands out because of its unedited, raw approach.

This film has a certain rarity in collector circles, as its format and conceptual approach render it distinctive among experimental works from the 1970s. While there are limited copies available, its significance in the narrative of film as art makes it a point of interest for those who delve into avant-garde cinema. The other two versions add layers to the experience, making it a topic of discussion among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances of film techniques and the evolution of the filmmaker's vision.
