Quick/Slow

And finally, we could also call a ‘reflection from the dreams’ Quick/Slow, the latest video by the local veteran in this field, Zemira Alajbegović. Quick/Slow, at first sight extremely simple study of movement, is in the authoress’ words ‘’ the exploration of the modality of time /.../ as well as interlacement of time and space with the basic states of the human body and spirit.’’ Time and space in the video are not just interlaced, but at certain moments literally glued into one; it is the very amorphousness of the both elements that is first reminiscent of the logics of the dreams, and then allows (even makes) the spectator to beyond the kinetic pleasure at watching (film is distinguished by some exceptional editing solutions and special effects of slowing down/acceleration of time) look for the roots of these ‘basic states’ (mainly) inside him.
