Spacy
Takashi Ito JP, 1981, 10', 16 mmTakashi Ito is one of Japan‘s best-known experimental filmmakers, and Spacy is an established classic which elaborates the concept of the ‘infinite regress’ through a zoom in to a stand on which animated photos show a zoom in to the same stand, ad infinitum, with reverses and variations. “His films are like a roller coaster. His way of throwing the act of seeing into utter confusion is an attack on the eyes in their corporeal function, and to attack the eyes is to take on the body itself as your opponent. The film makes you break out in sweat only by shooting a safe, peaceful gymnasium in the dark.” (Kisaragi Koharu)
