Director's statement

It's a film of etching on film, drawing on film, laser engraving on film, wetting and chemical manipulation of film, edited to an original improvised score by Lyne Goulet, Martien Bélanger and Fred Lebrasseur. The improvisations on film fed the music, which in turn fed the editing and new animations, in a constant back-and-forth between the creation of the animations and the music.
