1970, UK, 2x16mm, colour, sound, 9 min.

Found footage is re-filmed from the screen, a horse is led through solarized effects that colour it blue and red and acid green and yellow… repeated backwards and superimposed and negative, a beautiful film enhanced by Eno’s score (made specifically for this piece).

“It attempts to deal with some of the paradoxes of the relationships of the “real” time which exists when the film was being shot, with the “real” time which exists when the film is being screened, and how this can be modulated by technical manipulation of the images and sequences”.
