Moxon’s Mechanick Exercises or the Doctrine of Handy-Works Applied to the Art of Printing (1999)

Directed by David Gatten

Documentary · 26m

"Linked together by the texturality of forgotten objects and frayed (or physically manipulated) imprinted text images, the film represents a thematic collapsing of distinct objects that further erases the bounds between image (and text) from meaning, where recursive shifting of once seemingly separate entities become alternate presentations of a visible (and invisible) continuum - a decontextualized mood piece where absence and emptiness become increasingly tactile - an impression."
