WORDS
Word prologue to the film TIME OF ALIQUOT PARTS

Each time the letters spin like in the lottery and stop on ancient Slovene words such as kimpež or perkmandelj, there appears one of the documentary sequences from the archive of recordings from every part of the world kept by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum. In between, here and there, objects from the museum collections also appear. As if the film-maker was asking which of the objects is real? ‘Words’ alternate, repeat and vanish, along with the images, as if playing hide and seek, encouraging the viewer’s sensibility towards the rustling of meanings and content. It is a kind of epigraph and articulation, which ‘tunes’ the fragments of documentary footage so that the viewer is prepared for the film TIME OF ALIQUOT PARTS.
