Revisiting Juan Fontanive‘s mechanical, looping flipbooks: Vivarium. From the artist’s bio:
Juan Fontanive makes films without using light. Often recycling the mechanical parts of found clocks and pushbikes as the portable containers of his ‘animations’. His interest lies in the beauty of sequential and repetitive movement… Pages fall in neat layers in the manner of a paper fountain, somewhere between film and sculpture – there is no ‘screen’ as such.
We’ve enjoyed Fontanive’s kinetic sculptures before… remember these?
Also in the archives: videos with more birds, more butterflies, more kinetic sculptures, and more flip books, one of our favorite DIY activities. Make your own!
