在这部谢莉·杜瓦尔是奥利弗·奥尔短片片中,An innovator and avid researcher in the field of cinematic time and depth-perception throughout his avant-garde filmmaking career, Ken Jacobs has, in recent years, embraced the possibilities of digital cinema to further his visual investigations. His series of “Eternalisms” compiles short, snapshot-like situations, often captured within the immediate vicinity of Jacobs’s home in New York City using a process that makes three-dimensional perception possible on a 2D-screen without 3D-glasses… and with one eye closed. “Shelley Duvall is Olive Oyl is the fourth in a series of shorts beginning with Popeye Sees 3D […]. We’re crazy about both the original Popeye and the Altman film but the point in evoking the one-eyed sailor was to bring attention to single-eye depth perception. The Eternalism is my name for moving screen-images that not only appear in depth on 2D monitors but can continue in place with no start and no repeat point forever, defying time as we know it but also with their impossible depths available to even a single eye. Time’n’space time’n’space, transformed by cinema! The unthinkable available as the new electronic greeting card.”
