Program Notes
A relatively early example of Ogino’s style of abstract animation, this film depicts a sequence of images moving in rhythm. A question mark (Japanese: hatena) starts things off, to be followed by footsteps (“Owari Street viewed from below the ground”, an intertitle announces), triangles, and symbols from playing cards. -- ALEXANDER JACOBY & JOHAN NORDSTRÖM
