Echoes of Kren


Picture 1Several of Kurt Kren's films - including 31/75:Asyl and 37/78: Tree Again - consist of landscapes time-exposed over a long period, capturing the passage of seasons and collapsing it into the space of a few minutes. They're among my favorite movies. So much so that my own first efforts in 16mm amounted to little more than tweaked recreations. Anyway, this flash video by a Swedish blogger rather reminded me of Kren. Granted, it's a bit antiseptic, as opposed to Kren's aggressively raw formalism. But that's kind of video vs. film there, isn't it?
