"The Basis of Make-Up I-III" by Heinz Emigholz
16 mm film transfered to video, color, sound, 90', 1983-2005
The Basis of Make-Up I-III is the primal soup that stands behind Heinz Emigholz abundant body of work. This life-size film compilation, depicts two decades of notebooks in an unstoppable flickery flow. The blend of collages, workaday writing and filming is intersected by elaborate drawings halfway between medical and technical illustrations which somehow encapsulate the author's highly personal time and vision.
