Untitled (Objects 3)
Sophie Michael’s ‘Untitled (Objects 3)’ provides a direct resonance to the shapes and forms of Oskar Fischinger’s work. Michael builds images on three combined visual planes, superimposing objects over each other so their forms and colours interact. Michael’s film has a spontaneous in- the- moment feel to the layering of images, as we see her desk strewn with possible alternative shapes, objects and colours- each tense with the potential of visual combination. It is a strong exploratory piece, the constant question being what happens when this is added to this?
