Peter Greenaway, A Walk Through H. The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist, 1978

Video

Although it’s been some time we saw “The Gleaners and I”(“Les glaneurs et la glaneuse”) from Agnès Varda, I wanted to make a comment about it with another film that I really enjoy: “A Walk Through H. The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist” by Peter Greenaway. I believe that the behavior of collecting is an universal characteristic (in different levels) and an intensive part of a designer behavior, and in this short film, the director constructs a hole narrative, involving in some way, this subject.

This similar construction repeates itself in other works, such as “Intervals”, and “Windows”.

Also, because I really enjoy the french Nouvelle Vague’s aesthetic (wich Agnès was part of) I’d like to quote this cool short film: “Beyound Mountains, Short Mountains”
