Black

Anouk De Clercq

35mm, b/w, 1.37, no sound, BE, 2015, 5’

Simultaneously boundless and intimate, collective and personal, an ode to and an example of a cinematic experience that is becoming increasingly rare, the darkness of a movie theatre in the course of the projection of a 35mm film print.
