Against the backdrop of the hair-raising wail of the siren, and an animated painting, a then-sophomore in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts David Lynch plays with the sense of disgust and the law of reflection. Using a sextet of disembodied, hand-drawn figures connected to their filled-with-gastric-fluids stomachs through six distinct oesophagi, Lynch uses red flashes, hungry flames, the laconic "sick" caption, and even the X-ray of a belly, to portray an emetic one-minute sequence of regurgitation looped not once, but six times.
