Disappearing Music for Face

View through Harvard Museums
The "Disappearing Music for Face" flipbook was produced by Maciunas using stills from the fluxfilm of the same name. The film is of a smile (Yoko Ono) filmed (by Peter Moore) with a high-speed camera. When projected at normal speed, the effect is of extreme slow-motion. Maciunas had hoped to produce a number of flipbook versions of Fluxfilms, but only this and Dick Higgins's "Invocation of Canyons and Boulders" were made. See also George Brecht's flipbook "Nutbone: A Yamfest Movie", included in "Flux Year Box 2" (M26448.2).
