Found footage from Hollywood forms the basis for this slightly horrific film. The figure who creeps through the images and who is thrown around by them, is Barbara Hershey. Tscherkassky’s dramatic frame by frame re-cycling, re-copying and new exposure of the material, folds the images and the rooms into each other.
