"Super 8 images of a cellophane-covered male body floating in water are blown up into two separate movies—one video, the other 16mm—which screen simultaneously as superimpositions upon one another, further altered through colored gels placed in front of the projectors. The overlapped projections create an uncanny 3D effect, while the claustrophobic shots of the man's open mouth attempting to breath through clinging cellophane and roiling water, and the film's respiratory soundtrack, unveils a thanatos within its eros." —Ed Halter
