Dresden Dynamo
Lis Rhodes, 1971, UK, 16mm, 5'

Dresden Dynamo was made without a camera or any audio recording. The image was printed on the soundtrack area of the film itself; the projector reads the sound in response to the changing intervals of light. In this sense, Dresden Dynamo is a composition in noise, a form of visual notation. The film makes a material connection between seeing and hearing, with no space for artifice between the sound and the image. What is heard is seen and what is seen is heard. One symbolic order created the other. The film is the score is the sound.” (Lis Rhodes)
