Rate of Change

Slow continuously shifting colours, cycling around the perimeter of a spectrum. This section has no original, no frames. It is a continuous strip of changing colour causing an acceleration of colour perception. It functions as an axiom, a colour correction. – B.B.
‘By its suppression of any conventional developmental articulation, Rate of Change effectively reveals the basic modality of the film experience: temporal process.’ – Ian Christie.
Part of a trilogy consisting of Rate of Change, Angular Monumentum, and Circles of Confusion.Together, the three parts develop a study of pure colour. The films follow the logic of an imaginary science that rejects the notion of an instantaneous velocity. They also form an imaginary history of film (via colour) based on the belief that film is essentially change and not motion, which is only a particular kind of change. History evolves simply as: 1 – pure change, 2- Relational change, and 3-irrational change (quantum change).
The 3 films may be hired separately or together to form Acts of Light.
