About
A reworking of 10 seconds from Entrée d`une noce à l`église (Entrance of a wedding at the church), the 1896 Lumiere brothers film. As the line of wedding guests advance slowly, the adjacent frames, one to each eye, join to create an irrational and impossible 3-D. Silent film, avant-garde, and digital 3D: 120 years of film history merging into one single cinematic event.
