Die Spanische Treppe (1970)

Overview

The film explores the eponymous location in Rome. Photographs and commentary run almost completely separately side by side.The sequence of photographs approaches the people depicted and then moves away again. The result is a pulsation, a waxing and waning in the sequence. An attached film sequence is integrated into the film. It reflects the form of the photographic film, as the flipped comic strip is transformed into a flip book through the movement of the fingers.
