‘The possibility of contemplation offered by photographs is recouped and even radically undercut by the continually moving picture. When meaning does not seem to emerge it is immediately displaced by denial of the space. The suppression of meaning-production as a cinematic process is a structuring feature of the film. The repetitions, the radical refusal of semioticity (denial of the codes of dominant cinema but also of the codicity of structural film itself) and the unfixed nature of the space articulated by the film, all serve to operate against the kind of closure associated with a defined and homogeneous film space.’- Annette Kuhn, Feb. 1977, Perspectives on Avant Garde Film, Hayward Gallery, London.
