    It's neat that the artist is actually taking a photograph of a projected video, but if you accept digital processing and are only after the visual effect of this, averaging video frames is a lot easier (though less precious).

    The artist Jason Salavon has done very similar things (20 years ago):

      Not an artist myself, but it reminds me that maybe ten years ago or so I produced a series of "movie abstracts" which were whole movies accelerated to last 10-15 seconds by temporally averaging frames (the tmix ffmpeg filter).

      I don't think I have them anymore, it was just for showing to friends. But the result was interesting, especially for some Wong Kar-Wai movies or, as I remember, Hero, where colours play an important role.

    This is cool! You can actually get a hint for Kubrick‘s use of symmetry in his movies (except for „Dr. Strangelove“) Very nice!

    The photography od Gospel According to St Matthew (1964) is delightfully uncanny and stands out from all the others.
