1960, Austria, 16mm, b/w, silent, 5 min.
The first embodiment of a concept of structural activity in cinema comes in Kren’s Bäume im Herbst, where the camera as a subjective observer is constrained within a systematic or structural procedure. In this film, perception of material relationships in the world is seen to be no more than a product of the structural activity in the work. Art forms experience.
