Blinking

About This Movie

Blinking is quite an intriguing piece from the early '70s, capturing this raw, minimalist approach that feels almost experimental even today. The flicker effects are striking, especially with the way the eyes interplay between positive and negative. It creates this hypnotic rhythm, drawing you in and pushing you away at the same time. You can almost feel the tension in the pacing; it’s like a visual mantra, repetitive yet somehow engaging. There’s a certain charm in its simplicity, and the practical effects have this DIY vibe that adds to its allure. Definitely something that stands out in the realm of early video art.

This film is notably rare, as it falls into the category of early experimental video art, which wasn't widely distributed. Most copies are found in collector circles, often on obscure formats that enhance its allure. Interest has grown among those who appreciate video art history, making it a fascinating study for anyone interested in the evolution of minimalist cinema.
