Collection Georges Schwizgebel
The story
In his 40-year career since his first "author's film", "Le vol d'Icare" (1974), Schwizgebel has made hardly more than 15 short and medium-length films, mostly using the technique of animated acrylic painting. The brushstrokes and color effects give his works an incredible poetry. Virtually wordless and often accompanied by a piece of music, they are characterized by the stillness of painting and the constant movement of a camera: an eye that wanders and moves around the image itself, which is therefore constantly changing. Schwizgebel plays with repetitions, circles and references (especially to the areas of film and painting). He has created an exciting work that is worth discovering in the form of this collection - all at once and in chronological order.
