Clair, Rene, dir. Entr’acte. 1924. Film.

People run in slow motion, watching things happen in reverse, looking at a ballet dancer from underneath, watching an egg over a fountain of water get shot and instantly become a bird, and watching people disappear. The moviemaker experiments with slow motion, taking shots from unusual angles, and incorporates interesting scenes of surprising activities.

Neuhaus, Max. “Notes on Place and Moment.” 1993. First published in Max Neuhaus: Sound Works, Vol. I. Inscription (Ostfildern­S​tuttgart: Cantz, 1994).

“These terms ‘place’ and ‘moment’ which I use and within which I work have evolved into general forms—two complementary areas within which I group individual works. The thing that makes moment pieces different from place pieces is that the moment pieces are in all places, but only occur for a moment in all those places; while the place pieces are only in one place, but are continuums which are always there.”
