Blow-Up

The raw material used in Blow-up comprises two shots from an old educational film about first aid. With the aid of a digital photocopier, the strip of film was reduced in size to a narrow ribbon, and Blow-up shows this transformation in reverse: the ribbon is resuscitated, swelling gradually until the initial image is recognisable and, in the end, fills the screen.
