"THE MIRROR"

Here's "The Mirror", yet another wonderful video essay from our friend Anton Halldin, creator of the vast and intriguing Space: 5001 project. Be sure to subscribe to his Youtube channel, and check out his Twitter account.


”I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content.”
- Stanley Kubrick

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY IS A HALL OF MIRRORS ~ A video essay by Anton Halldin

Our good friend Anton Halldin, from Gothenburg, Sweden, the man behind the epic work of obsessive Kubrickean analysis known as Space5001Odyssey.com, has been kind enough to send along his latest creative work. 

2001: A Space Odyssey is a Hall of Mirrors is a hypnotic video essay in which he posits that Stanley's well-known penchant for symmetry and matching shots is far more than a mere stylistic conceit, and that a more accurate cataloging of all the instances in which he uses his mirroring techniques could possibly lead to a better understanding of the myriad mysteries contained within his films... 2001 in particular, of course. Enjoy!
