| MENI 16mm black&white 4 minutes 1994 In the collection of the Filmmuseum Amsterdam A girl dancing, repeating movements. Two layers of film superimposed and shifting in a complex rhytm, accompanied by an African drum. The making of MENI consisted of an obsessive unraveling of a series of dance movements. The movements were cut into very short fragments (0,5 to 1,5 seconds). These fragments are edited into repeating patterns. Through exchanging fragments and double exposure the film becomes an intruiging and complex rhytm. Een dansende
vrouw, repeterende beelden. Twee lagen film schuiven in een ritmies
spel over en door elkaar heen, ondersteund door een Afrikaans ritme.
