Arnulf Rainer

The Austrian filmmaker's most influential work, composed entirely of white frames rhyming through black inter-spaces so that the whole mix of the audio-visual experience is clearly in the head of the viewer. It is possible if viewed openly to see one's own eye cells as if projected onto the screen and to watch one's optic physiology activated by the sound track.
