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

Totally should be in a MoMA / MCA installation. I like the moment when the negative area around the box exposes the background, almost like a magician revealing part of the trick.
