still from video Guilin Girls © Paul Donker Duyvis[from Mrs. Deane - nothing is too amazing to be true]
No time to post last night as we were participating in Cinema at Home, a small film/video/av festival event [Curated by Jerome Symons at K13 Velp, NL, May 20 2008], where we saw this mesmerising video by Dutch artist Paul Donker Duyvis (view a smaller version here on Youtube) when travelling through the Chinese city of Guilin.
The video was a happenstance which came about when he was filming something else. The whole video was shot from one position (him sitting on the ground) with the children zooming in and out in front of the camera. Instead of using the entire film, Donker Duyvis reduced it to a sequence of randomly selected frames, through which it becomes almost a stop-motion animation of black and white photograps. We felt it works quite well this way.
