16mm film, colour, optical sound, 30 minutes (copy on DCP)
ELLIPTIC is a filmwork that considers an image as reflecting light. It looks at how brightly a beam of light is deflected as it hits an edge and transforms the image as it enters a lens. A delicately slow focus shift carries this movement along the cone of the visual field into a certain depth, and back again. Surprises appear slowly, and disappear to make place for a next one. An important remark is that this film needs to be seen from beginning to end, most likely not on a computer screen.
