Lemon
Directed by Hollis Frampton
A minimalist structural film that uses the simple play of light across a lemon to explore perception, materiality, and the nature of cinematic revelation.
Light begins to illuminate the small, nipple-like end of a lemon on the right edge of the frame and gradually spreads until the entire lemon is clearly visible. Then the light recedes across the frame.
