Reading Time

Herman Asselberghs

video, color, silent, BE, 2024, 8’17”

Reading Time is a short silent film, made up entirely of separate words and compact phrases that appear and disappear one by one, one after the other, precisely timed and carefully designed. A film for reading, then, that addresses itself directly to the viewer in a colorful reflection on the experience of film time. This film ‘without’ images creates a portrait of the attentive viewer on site, so to speak. Each screening initiates a silent dialogue with the spectator. The film and you. Is it a manifesto, a manual or a mantra? Your portrait, your decision.
