Kurt Kren – Slide Portrait

‘Not surprisingly, the film which impressed me was Kurt Kren Portrait. I liked the initial ambiguity of not knowing whether it was a still image and a moving camera, or a moving camera and a still image. The image (Kren standing by a clothes line pointing a camera at the photographer) was consciously chosen with the clothes line acting as frame. The pull-out to a wider shot revealed the single frame of film.’ – Tim Bruce, Readings No 2.
