1968–1971
film, Super 8mm, transferred to 16mm and high-definition video (color, sound)
14:58 min.

The dissolution of a relationship unravels through visual and aural equivalences. The film splits and recomposes actions of the lovers in a streaming montage of disruptive permutations: 8mm is printed as 16mm, moving images freeze, frames recur and dissolve until the film bursts into flames, consuming its own substance.
