Anmerkung : ‘One of the aspects of doing the film or the drawings was learning the grammar of the transformations that happen when you go from a flat surface to the curved mirror. For example, to draw a straight line is relatively complicated because every straight line that you draw becomes a parabola. Lopped telephone wires are very easy. You simply draw a series of straight lines on the drawing and then lines will loop themselves around the surface of the cylinder… A circle, which is very easy to draw on a flat surface with a compass, has to become quite a strange, kidney-bean-shaped object in order to appear as a circle on the mirror. I’m interested in machines that make you aware of the process of seeing and aware of what you do when you construct the world by looking. This is interesting in itself, but more as a broad-based metaphor for how we understand the world.’William Kentridge
