A sheet is folded a total of seven times, each time with one more folding process included. Each resulting grid corresponds to the projection format of a 16mm film which is exactly the measurement of the length of Dóra Maurer’s outstretched arms: Timing — a conceptual and visually vivid key work of structural film. The filmic recording apparatus and its synesthetic possibilities represent a core concern of Maurer’s film work. Inter-Images 1-3 investigates the filmic techniques of masking while Triolets plumbs the depths of sequences of movement by means of lens changes and focuses on variations of the perceptual threshold in the context of sound. Maurer’s visually forceful image and sound work also leads to abstraction: Kalah transposes an old Arab game into a visual music piece; Relative Schwingungen uses recording processes to create a composition of light and music.
