These three short films – Retardation, Streams of Balance, Antizoetrope – constitute an attempt to prevent the simple perception of what is depicted by utilizing various techniques of masking, thereby intensifying the imagination of the viewer. The different "masking" methods consist of the continuous flickering of the components of a grid, the mechanical, indifferent movement of the camera disconnected from the spectacle, and the pausing of individual, brief moments of what is seen on the screen.
