Another masterpiece by Georges Schwizgebel, who has examined the relationship of musical compositon with visual composition for many years now. With these associative abstractions of movement he once again succeeds in fascinating us with complex and “polyphonic” spatio-temporal overlapping of rhythms and sequences of images.
