Palimpsest And Kaleidoscope



              David Hockney, Nude, 1984                                      Pablo Picasso, Girl with Mandolin, 1910


To view things from multiple perspectives; the palimpsest is washed and rewritten imbuing the parchment with some sort of history, as if the paper were a vessel for information:



Here I have taken a film made years ago and transformed it into something Kaleidoscopic. 
"kaleidoscope" is derived from the Ancient Greek καλός (kalos), "beautiful, beauty",[2] εἶδος (eidos), "that which is seen: form, shape"[3] and σκοπέω (skopeō), "to look to, to examine",[4] hence "observer of beautiful forms." Wikipedia
