Two long visual sentences answering each other. The film begins with a part of the title disappearing through a cut in its center, cutting through the middle and producing a movement from right to left, revealing a room occupied by a child and her black maid. This is followed by an uninterrupted series of animated images, a kind of fleeting moment or painting that continually transforms, until it becomes a copy of Edouard Manet’s Olympia (1863). The second part begins with the title’s next part, which disappears just like the first one, setting in motion a reverse movement, from left to right, where images related to the first part, out of focus or from other points of view, arrive, ending with the reproduction of Félix Vallotton’s La Blanche et la Noire (1913).

Director
The very first independent film by animator Georges Schwizgebel, which was made in 1969 as an episode in the anthology film "Patchwork". Along with Schwizgebel, "Patchwork" included the talents of filmmakers Claude Luyet, Daniel Suter, Gerald Poussin and Manuel Otero. "Pirouette" combines a simple drawing of a figure with photographs, cut-outs from magazines and samples of cloth. A prominent motif of this collage mix is a drawn male face slightly inspired by pop-art.
