Lot Essay
Mr. Bruguière's film, Light Rhythms...is a departure from previous film practice in that it receives its animation from the movement of light on static forms, and not from the movement of form in static light. As in Bruguière's still photography, the light acquires significantly from its impact with the varied planes of forms. Form here reveals the light and the substance and reason of the film lies in the rhythmic pattern of this changing revelation. The film involved approximately 30 different forms which Bruguière photographed as still images, with careful sequencing, the very same images were arranged in (text form) to give an amazingly accurate impression of the film.
