Metamorphoses (1964)

Sinopse

“Inside the material, faint smiles form, various tensions collide and samples of shapes thicken.” This quote by Bruno Schulz introduces Mergl’s graduate film, in which he animated clay – a seemingly lifeless material. Accompanied by jazz music, the film depicts the processes of formation, decline and proliferation while supplementing the geometrically formed material with a raster “veil.”
