Imagine Democritus, as he took his sight, as he reached with his index and thumb, the palm of his hand eclipsing the lens of his Eye. Did he hesitate? Did he keep his eye open as his fingers curled into its socket. Was the final image of his sight, etched by light into his brain? Through animated experimental analog photographic work, where the emulsion of the film strip and the photographic image is gradually ripped away, the film invites the viewer into a world where the camera (proxy to the eye) is destroyed.
