PIERRE HÉBERT NOTIONS ÉLÉMENTAIRES DE GÉNÉTIQUE (1971)

Director: Pierre Hébert

Year: 1971

Time: 7 mins

Music: Andrée Paul

Eye of Sound: Supposed to be a didactic film for students in genetics, this work by animation genius Hébert should be rather seen as a reflection on the mysteries of biological existence. With the support of Andrée Paul's hectic electroacoustic music, we watch the unfolding of shapes and colors from a single pair of cells, culminating in footage of nature as we see it today. Nothing much is explained, except for a lingering structuralist notion of life as a system of transformations.
