Description: An experiment in capturing the color and movement of light transmitted from the artist's mobiles. What emerges on film is a pure and ethereal form of floating, almost three-dimensional light shapes. Like specters, the images appear against a black background and move off into space. The mysterious and absorbing effect of the visuals is set off by the effective modern piano score by Edward Muller.
