- Title: Taking A Line For A Walk Homage To The Work Of Paul Klee
- Date: 4th August 1993
- Summary: AN EXPLORATION & AN EXTENSION OF THE IDEAS OF PAUL KLEE ON COLOUR & MOVEMENT. USING SOME OF THE WORKS OF THE ARTIST AS A STARTING POIN, THIS FILM IS A CELEBR- ATION & A BRINGING TO LIFE OF THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF HIS WORK.THE FILM STARTS WITH A SERIES OF GEOMETRICAL IMAGES WHICH HAVE BEEN ANIMATED USING A COMPUTER. THE DRAWINGS GROW FROM A LINE WHICH ITSELF HAS GROWN FROM A DOT. THE GEOMETRICAL IMAGES MERGE WITH ONE ANOTHER & NEW GEOMETRICAL SHAPES & CONFIGURATIONS ARISE. THEN THIS WORLD IS INVADED BY SEVERAL LIVING SHAPES & FIGURES & EVENTUALLY META- MORPHOSES INTO A DREAM-LIKE LANDSCAPE FULL OF STRANGE STYLISED CREATURES,ANIMALS & FLOWERS. EACH LITTLE CHARACTERS IS TRYING TO EXPRESS ITSELF FULLY ACCORDING TO ITS OWN NATURE. HOWEVER, THE LINE IS RELENTLESS: THE LINE DESTROYS THE CREATURES OR DRAWS THEM BACK INTO ITSELF, AT THE SAME TIME PRODUCING A HOST OF NEW IMAGES & CHARACTERS ONLY IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THEM JUST AS MERCILESSLY AS BEFORE.
