This is an abstract film where the image seems to be determined by colour and scratches and additionally enhanced with sound. Between the flickering images we can perceive a lava-lamp and lurid furniture from the Seventies set against a black background. The colours of the objects are manipulated, a green cloth slides off a chair and drifts down into black space. Close-ups of the lava-lamp enhance the spacey atmosphere. Things really get going when pots filled with coloured substances start moving scross the screen.
