2/60: 48 Heads from the Szondi-Test (1960)

Kurt Kren's 48 heads refer to a psychological procedure known as the Szondi Test. Running four minutes and shot at various speeds, Kren's film fragments faces in extreme close-up: eyes, chins, hairlines, foreheads, with an occasional block of images using full-face. The film ends on mouths, viewed so closely as to be nearly abstracted. In 48 Köpfe body parts lose their original identification and become the subject of formal concerns.
