Cavelight

5433 individual photographic images plunge the eye into a state of delirious overload. Cones, like those in a stalactite cave, are drawn into a dynamic maelstrom by a storm of light changes and camera movement. The result is a sculptural spatial effect that is neither abstract nor concrete. The irritating thing is that, although the film was created using classic animation techniques, the production process is not revealed. In terms of form, the viewer is left with nothing to cling to. This in turn opens a view to the purely abstract and the lyrical rhythm of the images.
