Box (1982)

Directed by Takashi Ito

Experimental | Short

Overview

“I stuck landscape photographs on the faces of a cube and shot them frame-by-frame. It looks like the box is forever revolving, but in truth it only revolves 90 degrees. The trick to this sensation is fundamentally the same as the one used in SPACY. I was aiming at disturbing our awareness of space in the movement from the three-dimensional to a plane and back again.”  Takashi Ito

Viewing Notes

The kind of thing you’d see in MoMA or MCA as a video installation. Cool but not something you can view for a long time. Even this made me dizzy. Oddly enough on my last visit to MCA there was an installation that a short videos similar to this one.

Lol my notes for his SPACY

Guess Takashi Ito has a certain style!
