Retouches [2008]

Retouches
Retouches features a series of repeated visual cycles, an animation painted on celluloid that examines transformation in the world around us.
As with 78 tours and Jeu, Georges Schwizgebel tries to grasp the ungraspable -- movement itself -- by playing with notions of perception and representation, changing the balance of shapes for amazing metamorphoses. He turns someone going upstairs into a hurdler and hair being brushed into a windswept forest; as for a tennis game, the ball remains motionless and the court whirls spectacularly around it.
Finally the film calms down into an image of a sleeping woman perhaps dreaming of the very images we ourselves have just observed. Retouches is the virtuoso dream of a visual acrobat.

Schwitzgebel imo is the best abstract animation artist alive. I dont know any films that say "everything is one" so strong like his. I think this strong massage is the reason why he often puts years into a short film like this. One can really learn a lesson from him, about patience, growing and investing time into something good, thats worth it.

Incredible. For those 5 minutes, I couldn't tell you what I was looking at. Yet moments felt so fluid at it's end you can't fight the feeling that you've been brushed away.
