Red Stone Dancer

1968

"On several occasions we were impressed by the apparent vitality of some spools with arbitrary discards, compared to the laboriously assembled sequences of what is waste. Based on this idea, the cinema is a reel of clips from the Red Stone Dancer scene in Gaudier-Brezska's main film. It was done in an iconoclastic way very quickly, celebrating that we were abandoning the limitations of the documentary form. It was the first of many films in which we recycled previously filmed material and used it for new purposes."
