6/64: Mom and Dad (An Otto Mühl Happening)

Summary

In the first recorded scene of 6/64 Mom and Dad Kren's montage leads to many interwoven continuous shots; the central shots return like a leitmotif, circular motion and networking are observed throughout the film. By painstakingly weaving the fuzziness in front of his camera lens, Kren creates dense geometric figures. The frame-counter-sequences alternate, moving back and forth between individual (!) frames, transforming actionist turmoil into ornaments, rigid geometric patterns, contemporary with what Mondrian used to distill canvases in space.
