Acceleration - Scott Stark (USA, 1993, video, 10:00 min)
A snapshot taken in a moment of human evolution, where
the souls of the living are reflected in the windows of passing trains. The
camera captures the reflections of passengers in the train windows as the
trains enter and leave the station, and the movement creates a stroboscopic
flickering effect that magically exploits the pure sensuality of the moving
image. Acceleration reads like a double motion study, examining the movement of
its outward subjects (passengers and trains) as well as the camera’s own ability
to produce illusions of motion different than those usually generated by the
apparatus.
