Trama (1980)

Raphaël Bassan's visually compelling experimental film, *Trama*, investigates the world of color and how we see it. The filmmaker divides a single surface into six equal sections, each a different color: yellow, red, blue, green, violet, and orange. The camera holds these colors steady throughout the film, creating a captivating visual display. Bassan uses ten bands along the edges of the frames to produce an engaging optical effect that highlights how the colors pulse and interact. The film becomes a hypnotic exploration of color, inviting viewers to observe the subtle relationships between hues. *Trama* reveals the artistic potential of color as a means of storytelling and visual innovation.
