Synopsis
Through the targeted manipulation of 35mm material, a unique collage of scratched, cut, burnt images is created, which have been processed with caustic liquids, painted by hand and modified. In the magical chaos, an artificial intelligence partially explores and interprets the limits of the unpredictable and the destructive beauty. A fascinating game between analog manipulation, planned chance and AI.
