I remember watching this in film class. the school scheduled a class beginning class of (mainly) abstract films at 8 in the morning, so some days I would be pretty tired. Sometimes this mental state was very conducive to appreciating, other times not so much. This film was a shining example of how zoning out and looking at a work's basic form can be incredible.

23 minutes?? My attention span was shot with this 9 minute clip. However the scene was interesting and made me think of looking at things with a different perspective. How sometimes the door and hallway seem eerie and sometimes it's cheerful but always the same hallway.

As Gehr said, this is an experiment about the change of perspective while adjusting different focal length in a zoom lens.
1.Recording 4 frames for each focal length change without moving the camera.
ex. 4 frames for 50mm, 4 frames for 55mm...
2.same way moving the camera backwards and forward for different focal length.
ex. 4frames for 50mm, moving forward for 50cm then backwards 50cm, 4frames for 45-60mm, moving forward for 50cm then backwards 50cm...

edit, print and project.

I see, sort of like the "hitchcock dolly" (made famous in "Vertigo") manipulated to another level... Interesting....
