motion = density

a notation system for The Way Things Go

Line drawing entitled ‘motion is dense’ or ‘notation system for the film, “The Way Things Go” by Peter Fischli and David Weiss (1987)’. Here — as the objects are the stars of this object-oriented film — I modelled the object geometries as geometric primitives, assigning every object parameters based on their motion paths for every scene, and flattened the output / converted the output into linework, delivering an intensely densely codified abstraction.
