This film has been digitized with the support of the Ministry of Culture, during the 2008 digitization plan. The total length of the film is available online.

The projected image is constructed from deteriorated colour film (old loops from the the installation Little Girl), the agitated rhythm of the movements of colour and form underscore the movement of the spectator and the rapid eye movement. To renforce the movement the film was edited in a series of mirco-loops, similar material was assembled to create a sense of progresssion and familiarity with the image, brief passages of figurative material were kept as a sort of visual conterpoint to the flow of the abstract colour sections. This duality of material seems to change the speed of the images we percieve a double dynamic dynamics produced within the same material.
This work was originally shown as a film installation, projected onto a screen made from gelatine.
