ZigZag

 

16mm, 6 min, 2006

ZigZag is a film that was part of a performance called “Eyes needs Ears” that asked filmmakers to produce a silent film for musicians to use as a score in a live performance. This film was sewn with a sewing machine. Lines of thread form a dancing zigzag stitching pattern which the musician played along with a guitar solo. This final version has sound of a film projector that resembles a sewing machine which guides the dancing stitches along the surface of the screen.
