Watch on MUBI

Synopsis

The geometric paper sculptures of abstract artist Rutherford Boyd are captured, frame by frame, in various positions and motions under bright, contrasting lighting. The artworks interact and travel through darkness and light, forming complex shapes and curves that dance around hypnotically.

MUBI's take

Who said math can’t be fun? Working with Ted Nemeth and sculptor Rutherbord Boyd, animation pioneer Mary Ellen Bute brings to life the wonders of the parabolic curve: simply “nature’s poetry.” A monochrome marvel of animated abstraction that exploits the potential of movement, light, and shadow.
