Austria 1976

“I took a photograph of the view out of the window and had a very large negative made from it, which I fastened to the lens hood attachement in front of the camera. I tried to bring the negative into alignment with the real landscape which I could see through the camera. Then I filmed for months, changing the focus from near to far and then back again.” (Kurt Kren, http://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/show/250).

Kurt Kren, born 1929 in Vienna, died 1998 in Vienna.
