A visualisation of the inner world of foetal beginnings, the infant, the baby, the child – a shattering of ‘myths of childhood’ through revelation of the extremes of violent terror and overwhelming joy of that world darkened to most adults by their sentimental remem-berings of it…a ‘tone poem’ for the eye-very inspired by the music of Olivier Messiaen. – S.B.
