numeric plot ciphers

  • Peer Hunsicker

Hommage to Peter Greenaway´s "The Falls" The self-reflexive plot of a movie is arranged according to compositional markers which are numbers visible in the picture frame. No.27 The dire need to be framed In which a man my age passing by in a dynamic gait, stops and leans into the picture frame stretching his face into a grimasse. His facial expression represents estrengement on his part and at the same time a desire to be in my pre-fabricated picture setting with the camera on a tripod. The camera pointing at a plain uninteresting wall and nothing else but a house number. In this case number twentyseven. (The typographical family of this graphic cipher needs to be researched at a later point in time due to the artists wish to raise awareness for the importance of the time of its stylistic usage.)
