Hans Op de Beeck. ‘Blender’

Blender (1999) by Brussels-based artist Hans Op de Beeck (1969) opens with a view of a deserted carousel. After a short while, the carousel slowly begins to turn, spinning faster and faster, the horses and the carriages blending into a single image, becoming blurry and indistinct as the speed increases. When the speed decreases, the image of the carousel reappears and the fairground ride comes to a standstill.
