Nineteenth-Century Stroboscopic Discs (1831–1882)

Nineteenth-Century Stroboscopic Discs (1831–1882) — Plot

Gruesome grimaces, craftsmen at work, running animals, wild fountains of colours – the “not yet films” from the prehistory of cinema were only sixteen animation images long, but they left people amazed and satisfied the sensation-seekers. Parisian artist Dominique Willoughby has retrieved some 19th century wonder discs from the archives and re-animated them in a variety of ways to minimalist music.
