Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Dir. Nicolas Philibert
Documentary of La Borde clinic in France and its radical politics of experimentation, in which residents and staff reciprocate in a kind of entanglement, an opening up amongst themselves.
