The filmed image is liberated from the shackles of representation of an external reality, becoming autonomous and spatial; the sound drifts and is regenerated by its asyncronous but nevertheless intimate relation to the image. Here, the sound is not reduced to the secondary role of accompanying the image. It constitutes the sensory experience just as much as does the image. Fast motion, slow motion, superimposition, reflection, colorization, filtering and synthetic composition: a combination of effects that produces a long audiovisual perspective within just one sequence.
