Slide Projectors, Framed 35mm Slides
A film sequence (35mm motion picture) is cut up and the individual frames are mounted as slides. They are distributed among 12 slide projectors that are all focused on the same screen.
Via electronic control of the projectors, individual images are reassembled-in an extremely cumbersome way-into a chronological sequence.
The formula “one projector per frame” thus gives rise to something that at least rudimentarily suggests a motion picture. The film soundtrack emerges as a byproduct – the mechanical clattering of the projectors changing slides.
