F., Prod.: Henri Plaat. 16mm. D.: 4’. Col.
In a series of photo collages and coloured static photographs, a portrait of Hitler as a crazy fool. To a soundtrack of cabaret music, the images are edited in an associative sequence and appear to be moving while being saturated in smoke. Here, Plaat transforms the serious into the ridiculous, or as he put it: “Tragic situations inevitably have absurdist sides”.
Marius Hrdy
The work of Henri Plaat has been preserved on 16mm by the Eye Filmmuseum, recently new 2k digital preservations of the original reversals have been made
