why a black triangle?

The movements are quite long in the sequence; they appear here separately to make them easier to watch.

first movement, which gives its title to the whole sequence: why this black triangle at the top left of the image? ... simply because it is the edge of the plane window from which the sun and clouds were filmed during a landing at Bari airport in June 2021.

second movement:

third movement:

 

... and for those who have the patience to watch the fourteen minutes of the complete sequence:

red, blue, steamy, rough, aquatic ...

Some passages seem to come from live-action videos, especially for the aquatic surfaces at the beginning; but it is in fact the animation of mere drawings made by hand on Ipad...

The three basic drawings, of different textures, are sometimes coloured or illuminated in red or blue.

Each movement begins with the end of the previous movement, chronologically reversed:

first movement: the three textures follow one another fleetingly, the aquatic first and the vaporous last,

second movement: the vaporous texture dominates, with the appearance of the rough texture at the very end,

third movement: the rough texture prevails, with the appearance of the aquatic texture at the very end,

fourth movement: the aquatic texture dominates.

 

Black?

Where we go back to the rectangles of various textures from the sequence "towards the horizon".

first movement: the rectangles and their drop shadows merge and separate to form different moving figures.

second movement: in a closer shot, the rectangular aspect fades and a shining point underscores the shades of blue.

third movement: the rectangles become triangles and rotate in space; then everything returns to normal ...

 

beyond the horizon, over the various versions

From one end of each version to the other, the same almost continuous line slips and winds towards the horizon.

First version: the course of the line is punctuated by various plays of light or short passages of drawn elements.

 

 

Second version: along the line, here a little bit longer, various extracts of old animated sequences appear, sometimes in a slightly modified aspect. I leave it to the courageous visitor to identify these sequences among all those presented on the site.
