    Zorns Lemma:

    A rhythmically edited alphabet composed of street and shop signs shot in New York City and other elements is gradually replaced by repeated seemingly abstract shots in this influential structuralist film. Zorns Lemma is named after mathematician Max Zorn’s “lemma,” an axiom which states that given a set of sets, there must be a further set containing a representative item from each individual set.

    1970, 60 minutes, USA, Directed by Hollis Frampton

    • “Frampton's film is an exercise in mathematical logic in cinema. Or is it a mechanical logic?... It's about alphabet. It's about the unities of similarities. It's about sameness in a confusion. It's about logic in chance. Its about structure and logic. It's about rhythm.”

      – Jonas Mekas, VILLAGE VOICE
    • "At a time when radical uniqueness seems progressively less probable, Hollis Frampton has made a film that is absolutely one of its kind."
