Film
Medium-length
Liquid landscapes, each absorbed by the next, transform the canvas into a painter’s canvas. The digital decomposition of images in interaction with music by Carlos Grätzer draws attention to the permeability between traditional and abstract painting, as well as the harmony between visual arts, cinema and music. Photos evoking Monet or Renoir break apart and are transformed into a shapeless mass of colors that then transform into a new composition. While the Impressionists depicted a static moment, Perconte captures a moment in constant movement. Selection of the Jihlava Documentary Festival.
