A 1998, short film, 35 mm, Cinemascope
length: 5 min.

tx-transform is a new technique which transposes the time (t) and space (x) axes in a film. Normally, each frame depicts an entire space, but only a brief moment in time (1/24 second). In tx-transformed films, this is reversed: Each frame shows a period of time in its entirety, but only a tiny portion of the space. This produces phenomena such as those described by Einstein in his theory of relativity.
