Based on Otto Muehl’s ‘materialaktion’ Mama und Papa, this film is made up of short shots (less than one second, often only a few frames), combined according to a pre-arranged score. The emotionally charged images of nude bodies smeared with various liquids engaged in various perverse acts and contortions are counter pointed by their rapid and regular recurrence within the mathematically precise system of editing.
