Directed by Toshio Matsumoto
Japan, 1982
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

One of Matsumoto’s last shorts, Shift is also among his most impressive works. Through the use of what was at the time state-of-the-art video technology, Matsumoto decomposes a residential building in horizontal stripes, thus tearing down its balance and symmetry.
