Something Horizontal (2015)


 
Running time: 9:43
Native format: 3D-DCP (2K) / Quicktime MOV (Anaglyph 3D)
 

Stroboscopic glimpses of Victorian domestic surfaces and geometric shadows transform the physical world into an impressionistic fantasia as sensory abstraction and narrative linearity are forced to co-exist. Elsewhere, a spectre emerges from the depths of German expressionist cinema to remind us that what goes up always comes down.
