More about Rhythm 23
Hans Richter made this abstract short. It runs two minutes and is also called Rhythmus 23.
Themes
Look
High-contrast animation of rectangles and lines, with one hard cut from a black field to a white one.
Notes
- There are no actors and no set. The picture is the shapes.
- The reverse, black-on-white, comes only after white covers the frame.
- It belongs with Richter's other Rhythmus shorts.
Scenes
- The screen goes white and the figures reverse to black.
