Shot on Super 8, this short, abstract film inverts the historical predominance of female nudes in photography and cinema. Rather, the camera turns its lens upon a male body, subjecting it to distortion and manipulation: a psychedelic subversion of Kertesz’s photography in motion. All effects are produced through analog in-camera techniques or microscopic hand painting. The soundscape, played on the Theremin, is in direct response to the images themselves — bending image and pitch in synchronicity.
