Rhythm 23

Directed by Hans Richter

19233 min5.7 / 10

A purely abstract avant-garde visual composition exploring rhythm and form through geometric shapes in perpetual motion, devoid of narrative or emotional content.

We watch white shapes dancing on black background, which changes when the white shape fills up the screen completely, and black lines and figures bounce around on the now white background.
