Coloured micro-drops sprayed onto transparent film stock, small dots spread at random in a space indifferent to the filmstrip's division into frames. This produces an abundance of effects: swarming, flurries, Brownian movements, ephemeral and vibratile forms, slowly increasing in number until they darken the screen, golden flashes of visual crumbles. What is projected onto the screen, as much as the film and its dots, schemas and drawings are moving figures, perceptual and mental motifs, visual modes that are created by the viewer's reception and interpretation of this visual "information".

(This film has been referred to as both White Revolved and While Revolved.) Project at 18 fps. This film is concerned with the projected, not just light or the emulsion or the illusion or the projector or the camera, but all of them. The surface of the film, the grain, is remembered when a similar but illusionistic surface appears (just as magnified), crossing the frame. Other times the grain is left to itself. There are the idiosyncratic focusing qualities of shadows acting as diaphragms inside the image. The elusive background confounds itself with the foreground. The notions of appearances and disappearances transform themselves in notions of time. Made with a grant from the Canada Council.
