“Red Church” opens with a lush, red-toned image of a church altar before a stained-glass window. On the soundtrack is an awesome roar. The rest of the film involves a complex transposition of that image through multiple exposures within the camera. Over the course of 200 exposures, the image becomes more abstract and as the emulsion wears down, the image becomes lighter and achieves a glowing, translucent quality.
