Visual Poetry
May 23rd, 2007
We at FringeHog like to think of ourselves as curators of edgy ideas. So I wish I could think of something profoundly futuristic to say about “Fast Film” - maybe something about how the collage of images is a metaphor for the transmogrification of 20th century culture, a statement about the rapidity of technological and social change refracted through the lens oftheartisticzeitgeist. But I can’t. Instead, I have to say that this extraordinary film is simply a wicked cool piece of visual poetry.
From director Virgil Widrich’s website: “In 14 minutes, “Fast Film” provides a tour de force through film history, from its silent beginnings to present-day Hollywood. The filmmakers printed out some 65,000 individual images from 300 films, folded them into paper objects, arranged them in complex tableaux, and then brought them to life with an animation camera.”
Mahalo to Ben Hammersley for the heads up.

Dear Sir,
I have recently written a book of visual poetry entitled ‘Eloqüencies’, published by Tabelaria Edicions and with a prologue in Spanish, Catalan and English by Professor Miquel Toneu from the Vice-Chancellor’s Office at Vic University. I would like to be included on your registers as the author of this work and would also be extremely interested in receiving feedback from you. If you wish to visualise some of the poems, they are available at poemesvisuals.com
Should you be interested in setting up an exhibition, I have 42 photographs in 40×40 cm format. (There is also a video included in the blog at poemesvisuals.com which can be translated into English if required).
In addition, if you wish to feature my work in your bookstore, I will be delighted to send you as many copies as you require on a deposit basis.
Although I am not sure whether it’s possible, I would also be delighted if you could set up a VISUAL POETRY link on your website under the poemesvisuals.com domain.
Thank you very much.
Regards.
