“Bellows” translates the principle of the zoetrope into the 21st century. 200 years ago, viewers peered through slits cut into the walls of a rotating cylinder at a sequence of static images on its interior wall; the cylinder’s rotation seemed to animate the images. Now, Dyer has replaced the images with hand-painted 3D computer prints, and the human eye with a camera. Here, though, the speed at which the objects fly by exceeds the eye’s ability to see. It is not until the camera images are transferred onto a screen that it becomes possible to register them.
