The world comes into existence because we look at it. “The body is our general medium for having a world.” – Maurice Merleau-Ponty Three one-minute-long experimental films by misha de ridder, examining time as a dimension of space.kef amskef ams (2023) by misha de ridder 🪨 1:00 min. audiovisual 🎶 [MP4 1920x1080 px] CC BY-NC-ND 4.0https://manifold.xyzThe cloudscape 'kef ams' is a view from a window of an airplane flying from Keflavík Airport in Iceland to Schiphol Airport in The Netherlands.

The film consists of five chapters, sound plays a significant role, featuring music composed and performed by Swiss musicians Daniela Larkin and Thomas Lüscher. ‘verwirklichungen’ reflects on processes in the landscape over time. These processes gain meaning through our act of looking – the world comes into existence because we look at it. In that sense, a screening is a performance in which the audience is the performer. The film focusses on almost imperceptible movements of clouds, starting very earthly with light and shadow play, developing into a choreography staged before a mountain face. Slow cinematics. Collectors of these slow cinematics are entitled to an 4K hi-res copy on request. See the amazing The One Minutes Collection for more one minutes films.
