Individual elements from a carrier of visual information have been isolated to construct alternative visual reagents. Repetition (in space and in time) is administered as a binder to tame the wild particles in motion, evoking a golden ratio of the mind's eye. Film was once manufactured and distributed on thin translucent plastic strips and came in different formats like Super 8, 16 mm and 35 mm. For this film found Super 8 footage was the source material. It was cut to small pieces and investigated further with other film formats (16 mm & 35 mm) by means of optical printing and reshooting the projected material. After applying this analogue feedback loop for a while the result has been transferred to video and edited further.
