Audio visual installation for a cinema, 1 min, Quicktime Film, 2012
Film, concept, animation: Julia Willms; sound: Robert Pravda
In the Movies is an installation for cinema halls. One photograph of a cinema hall (The Movies Cinema in Amsterdam) is the only visual material for this animation.
In it I address the mechanism of looking in cinema: the image does not transport you someplace else but physically moves you in the here and now – by the use of/ and further development of the cinematic technique Vertigo effect in combination with the Droste effect.
