"Black Square Trailers: The Malevich Effect"

This project is generated from movie trailers. Their configuration within the confines of the "Black Square" move them in the direction of Suprematism with a kinetic component that incorporates the sound track. They are in keeping with many of Malevich's Suprematist pieces that are painted on a slant, and simulate the geometry of terrain/objects seen in an aerial photograph. On another note, the pieces involve the anachronism of past generations' narrative/dialogue/score blended with Abstract Expressionism in its kinetic form; and what's even more interesting is the fact that this form is of itself ... the movie trailer.

Two examples (stills) of 20 pieces are shown below:
