Moxon's Mechanick Exercises, or, the Doctrine of Handy-Works applied to the Art of Printing
David Gatten, 1999, US, 16mm, 26'
“This handmade film, with its images generated almost entirely from cellophane tape, is a meditation on the development of the printing press and its role in the spread of Christianity throughout Europe, the relationship between words and images, the poetics of translation, the fine line between the legible and the illegible, and the passage of the soul through the material world.” (DG)
