ウィーン・アクショニズムのOtto Muhl、Gunter Brusとの作品等でも知られる、1929年ウィーン生まれの映像作家Kurt Kren。処女作[Versuch mit synthetischem Ton]、代表作でもある[Tree Again]等々、1957年~1995年の16作品を収録した貴重な記録。高速に切り替わるイメージが作り出す素晴らしすぎる内容。



Kurt Kren´s achievements with regard to the montage of short cuts in his early works was many years ahead of the rest of the (film)world, in both form and content. Kurt Kren was a pioneere: an avantgardist in the classic and best sense of the word. A filmmaker who knows how to think in images like few others in this trade, and who realized these images in films that are among the »most beautiful« and »most important« in cinematic history.
(Peter Tscherkassky)
