layered Image with hands and textures.

This film is emblematic of how Margaret Raspé confronts the relationship between body and camera, subject and object, and the ways in which they are connected. Here, the camera films the body of the filmmaker; the short distance makes a long shot impossible, abstracting the image of the female body. This abstraction reaches completion in the second half, when the film is played backwards.
