"Kodachrome Revisited" by Jon Behrens
180 rolls of slide filmtransfered to DVD, color, 1987
Jon Behrens is a prolific self-taught filmmaker with the vision of Andy
Warhol and the skills of Stan Brakhage. His work covers all styles and
genres of experimental film from punk rock documentaries to found
footage and abstract film.
For 'Kodachrome Revisited', Behrens
spliced together 180 uncut rolls of 35 mm slide film and inserted them
into a 35-mm film projector. The result is a frantic and chaotic
succession of rotated images impossible to read and sustain. This
entropic flicker-film suggests a sense of suspended disaster, an effect
enhanced by a soundtrack provided by The Throbbing Gristle.
