Razor Blades

Razor Blades follows the tradition of the stroboscopic films which affect our eyes on a physical level, causing an almost hypnotic transference of light from the screen to our minds. However, Sharits explores psychological as well as physical sensations. The film is conceived to break down our defences and then to work on a subconscious level to initiate us to a new level of awareness. By opposing the eyes and ears against the mind, Razor Blades cuts deep, both in our psychic and visceral bodies.
