6 Small Pieces of Film

Klaus Wybornys Six little Pieces on Film is the type of work that one is more accustomed to see in Sohoss showcases Its a Structural film comprised of five or six sequences Within each there are a set number of shots or kinds of shots which are repeated with variations in camera speed shot length and processing Wybornys subjects include a harbor a house an urban street and industrial sites At tiomes the images fly by so fast that we struggle to recognize them When the cutting slows down we can begin to get a sense of place but then the editing will speed up again and the images are turned into elaborate rhythmic patterns The kinds of perceptual experiences the film affords are characteristic of the Structural genre rather than innovative but pleasurable nonetheless
