“In Tscherkassky’s hands the ‘industrial’ 35mm film became a body with visual and audio qualities which allows itself to be shaped and formed and expanded with a truly voluptuous desire. The opportunities specific to the material are not at all obsolete, nor have they been fully exploited, and they can be equally dramatic as the genre films and illusions for which the 35mm strip normally serves as an ‘unconscious’ vehicle.” (Alexander Horwarth)
