MARCEL BROODTHAERS. UNE SECONDE D`ETERNITÉ. FLIPBOOK

Broodthaers created the film using animation, tracing the strokes of his signature on 24 frames of film (one per second), opening th e camera shutter every time that he changed or manipulated the image. The artist toys with the idea of a signature: typically the ar tist's guarantee of a work's completion and authenticity, here the signature is notable for the absence of work it accompanies.
