Shot in a bathroom, the film is a continuous unbroken image which fluctuates and alters as the camera encounters irregularities and interruptions in the grid system of tiles. The composition of the image is dictated by the squareness of the tiles in conjunction with the rectangular dimensions of the film-frame, which is based on a ‘four by three’ approximate to the ration of the ‘golden section’.
Winner of the Chris Coppola prize at the San Francisco Art Institute Film and Video Festival 2004.
