Style, as we read it
An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
The earth as a surface. Aerial and high-vantage photographs of cities, deserts and ports with no horizon, no sky and no shadows, so that a whole town reads as texture. Named by place code, catalogued like geography.
- Colour
- Black and white or muted, true colour.
- Composition
- Top-down, edge to edge, no horizon, no focal point.
- Light
- Flat, high, shadowless.
- Tone
- Even, enormous detail, medium contrast.
- Texture
- Every roof and tree resolved.
- Mood
- Detached, encyclopaedic, hypnotic.
