A woman’s face disappearing behind, and emerging from, a pair of hands. Flashing lights. An empty building full of dark hallways.
A film that could be a unified scheme produced by layering together a number of axes of semiotic systems. With the frame as the basic unit, the film is composed by designing an accumulation of symbols representing reactions to light.Read More »
