Claudine Eizykman – Bruine Squamma (1977)
Movie’s themes : French experimental of the 70’s, Time
Quote:
“Claudine Eizykman’s Bruine Squamma (bruine: a kind of mist which absorbs and reflects light, and squama: a sliver of the epidermis which is shed from the skin), is impressive for the way it is organised and its jamming of a series of sporadic images, infinitely repeated and varied, with no narrative impulse whatsoever. Nothing but flashes, explosions, extinctions, splashes of images which succeed one another, shift forward or back, are superimposed, as in a game of transparent cards.”
Boris Lehman in La relève, 25/11/77.
“Claudine Eizykman repeats a few images – a woman on a stairway, the courtyard on an apartment building, a man at a desk – with variations, including superimposition. Sometimes the images appear in an abstracted version of color negative film, a mix of pale pinks and blacks, but more often her colors are relatively natural. Her superimpositions do not take the form of multiple exposures like Lebrat’s, in which the light of each layer adds to the others and overall the image grow brighter. Instead she runs her film through the last so that dark areas in another : light is lost rather than gained.”
