Go

Go is the axis of FILMBLOCK I: the precise aleatoric narration. Chance and the will to form are perfectly balanced out, everything is change. The elements are further reduced in Go: the legs of a man and woman, moving closer and farther away, still, this all reproduced as a negative, with an atonal aggression on the soundtrack – one could see it as the story of an unsettled relationship. Adrian for his part might be dissatisfied with the fact that people almost compulsively would interpret it in this way, but if he didn´t want that to happen then he should have used more abstract material. (Hans Petersen)

Go is also a permutation film. Here it becomes particularly evident how meaning arises from purely formal structures in the consciousness of the viewer. (M. A.)
