"Made in 1998 on the basis of images from Hollywood films from the 40s. Martin Arnold suspends the meaning and movement of the images through ultra-cutting and serial repetition. Arnold works frame by frame with an optical extractor he developed by himself. It is an artistic practice that comes very close to the sampling scene in the techno movement."
[To clarify: earlier, I mean "cinema" as "film-making", not an actual theatre]
"I work with scenes from feature films of popular cinema. As a result, for my work, the image itself is very important: it shows not only certain locations, actors and actions, but also the dreams, the hopes and the taboos of the era and of the society that created it.
The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, of reduction, and of refusal: it is a repressive cinema. There is always something behind what is represented, which is not shown. This is what is interesting to consider."
The technique used is to make micro tip and stick several times.
