A bilaterally symmetrical (west to east) fusion of human, biomorphic and mechanical shapes in motion. Has to do with the spontaneous generation of electrical energy. A fairly rare (ten years ago) demonstration of the Sabattier effect in motion. Numbered after the film stock of the same name.
"Fetishistic." - Isabella Beeton
"...an 'absolute' film in Richter's and Ruttman's sense - pure circles of light bounce on black screens. They establish not only the rhythm of the film but the terms in which the subsequent brilliant colour images - derived through multiple and extreme high-contrast printing from an oil pump in motion and a dancing girl - should be viewed. In four parts, the film leads to a almost sexual climax at the end, making subtle use at the moment of a strobe." - David Curtis.
