The film uses reproduction, repetition, and interframe windows to work with the essential elements of film. The film is made from contact prints between 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm on Super 8 in a darkroom, using Man Ray's revolutionary technique, the photogram. This technique is the result of close contact between several formats. The images become the object instead of being mere material. Then the film is blown up to 16mm with an optical printer. The image/non-image elements of the film present an illusion (pornography) that the filmmakers have created on the film stock (the screen). This illusion allows the viewer to discover the source of the film: the film itself as material, the mechanical movement projected through light.
