Study V: Interplay is constructed along the same principles as Study IV / Hallucinations. Sequences of photographic abstractions have been balanced against more realistic sections. Study V depicts a surrealistically charged encounter between two lovers, a young woman and a man.
Rondo may be perceived as an improvised stylistic exercise set to music. It was made with a statically fixed camera. Bright colors run together on a rotating disc.

A film about multi-media artist Kjartan Slettemark’s Nixon Visions, the collective title of his famous pictorial version of president Nixon, made 1971-74. It has its beginning in, among other things, Slettemark’s slogan ‘Opposition Must Pay Off’. The new, coffee-loving Nixon is marketed in a satirical balancing act between humor and seriousness. Slettemark’s advertising campaign is ‘a study of Nixon’s mental health’ in which ‘the face is the mirror of the soul’. (Filmform)
Stillbildsfilm med bilder från tåg, fabriker, broar och gatubilder.
Beskriver ett bildkonstverk och den arbetsprocess som leder fram till det färdiga verket. Filmtiteln anspelar på den klädsel, den roll, konstnären ikläder sig när han kommer in i sin ateljé. Den konstnärliga akten framstår som en rituell besvärjelse av verkligheten. Konstverkets element är dockor och moln som görs levande med hjälp av trådar. Till sist blir konstnären själv en del av denna marionettvärld, han går in i den.
