dc.description.abstractWhat happens in the blink of an eye? Blink is a 14-minute experimental film that focuses on, and exposes brief, spontaneous, expressive, and communicative gestures that often pass us by unnoticed, unrecognized or unacknowledged. Blink is made up of three parts that are categorized into family, childhood and self. Each section explores gestures by using formal techniques to highlight the movement of a particular body part. Blink emphasizes my interest in controlling and altering time within film, by demonstrating my ongoing exploration into the formal properties of accelerated speed, slow motion and/or repeated actions within cinema. It demonstrates my interest in portraiture and abstraction, and my continuous curiosity and attempt to capture and expose human gestures. Music accentuates these gestures throughout Blink. The gesture of the gaze in Blink produces a deeper and more personal relationship between the subject and spectator, and evokes a deeper sense of connection between them.
