The Influence of Ocular Light Perception on Metabolism in Man and in Animal

a film by Thomas Draschan & Stella Friedrichs
World Premiere: IFF Rotterdam 2005


Found footage // Austria / Germany 2005 // 6 min // 16mm

Synopsis

A found footage film, which exists both as a single screen as well as a double screen version. It’s based on an Italian sixties softporn soundtrack which is repeated two times - each time a sequence of images is synched to the soundtrack. It can thus be viewed as a double projection (in a video installation) or a single screen cinema version. The film images are illustrating acts of ocular light perception as well as imagery with strong visual impact. It is a kind of visual test directed towards the viewer.
