With 45 pinholes distributed along a 50 centimeter long hollow tube, I made this film. The purpose was to shoot the seasons... I always shot in the crepuscular half-light of dawn and dusk, since there was too much light during the day. – PG
This film was shot one frame at a time using laborious extreme optical close-ups. Anonimatograph: the reanimated image of an unknown amateur filmmaker at the beginning of the century who become conventional as he settles down, movie camera in hand, indoors and outdoors surrounded by war and by his sisters. – PG
Extracted from rolls of 35mm film on which I had made exposures using the photofinish technique. That is, images intended as photography, and therefore as still images. – PG
I have always been interested in the sequencing of images in books, where the possibility exists of imposing movement onto still images. – PG
