Reflection. A film about time and relatedness - ACE061.3

Animation intercut with live action of flower heads, shoots, etc. "The way all things come into existence can be symbolised in the following sequence: the starting point proceeds to become a line, the first dimension; this line rotates to describe a circle, or plane, the second dimension; the plane then turns over, becoming a sphere or solid, the third dimension." Flower heads. "This cycle … follows four distinct phases…" Cinemicrography of atoms bonding; highly magnified microscopic marine skeletons; Chartres cathedral. Animation of tetrahedron formed from four spheres, whose six points of contact become the starting point for the octahedron, six spheres or eight triangular faces. When the octahedron’s twelve points of contact expand, they develop into the cuboctahedron, twelve spheres enclosing a space the same size as one of them, in dynamic equilibrium, which tends to compress into a stable icosahedron. The cuboctahedron is made up of squares and equilateral triangles, which can also be expressed in a plane. Centre of daisy. Spiral growth shown by means of squares of different sizes, but fixed proportions.
