      The alternating between recognizable and abstract picture worlds, between theoretical reflection and lush sensuality is the main distinguishing characteristic of Peter Tscherkassky's work. That is particulary true when he concerns himself with filmic space. In kelimba moving plastic objects are inserted, one after another, in a completely flat picture space. At the same time the processes of movement are artifically made in that they are subjected to a repetitive rhythm and thus transformed into a dance.
