This film was constructed using the socalled photofinish technique employed in sporting events The same principle was applied precisely to the motion picture camera The subjects are explored and selfexplored using a thin slit arranged horizontally halfway along the aperture plate as they enter the motion picture camera itself The images then are formed as an extremely dense series of lines as in a primitive video screen such as the Nipkow The cinematic rhythms of the film vary with the accelerations and decelerations imposed beyond the synchronism between movie camera and subject with motion from top to bottom or else with the movie camera lying sideways in that case the line is vertical then from left to right and vice versa Of course without a shutter or claw in the camera This filmic technique is well known in scientific cinematography and it is this very combination that I most urgently desired to encompass in my graphic compositional concerns
