Guy Sherwin on sound, Lynn Loo on projectors.
Film made by Guy Sherwin. Choreography collaboration with Lynn Loo on multiple film projection performance.

Black film stock is repeatedly cut and rejoined. The cuts are made with the angled blade of a splicer normally used for joining sound film. At each cut we see an angled flash of light followed by a thud of sound. The film combines rhythmic intervals from one cut per second to twenty-four cuts per second, spread across 6 projectors.
