Russian Ark flipbook

Wow! A spatial representation of Alexander Sokurov’s Russian Ark (Russkiy Kovcheg):

On BLDG BLOG, Geoff Manaugh details this student project of recent Bartlett School of Architecture grad, Johan Hybschmann:

What you’re looking at in the images reproduced here (alongside Johan’s answers to a series of questions I had posed over email) are painstakingly precise laser-cuts made into the pages of a blank sketchbook. As the book is opened and its pages begin to turn, these cuts work together to form a spatial representation of the single, highly choreographed 90-minute shot that is Alexander Sokurov’s film Russian Ark.

The book’s “content” is thus a three-dimensional, perspectivally accurate space.

Beautiful… But the film was painstaking enough! #lolz
