RED Variations on a Dance theme

In 1966 the filmmaker Hilary Harris, known as pioneer of timelapse photography, created the film Nine Variations on a Dance Theme where the dancer Bettie de Jong is dancing a 50 seconds dance phrase shooted in 9 different ways. RED Variations on a Dance Theme is a film exercise to compare the fragmentation of the body with the continuity of dance motion, filming the same choreography 9 times from the same point of view, creating a work focused on the inabilty of framing the dance perception.
