Horseman, the Woman and the Moth, The

A long myth drawn directly onto the film’s surface, which is painted, dyed, treated so that it will grow controlled crystals and mold – as textures of the figures and forms of the drama – some images stamped thru melted wax crayon techniques, some images actual objects (such as moth wings) collaged directly on the celluloid… so that the protagonists of this myth (as listed in the title) weave thru crystalline structures and organic junglesof the colourful world of hypnogogic vision – edited into “themes and variations” that tell “a thousand and one” stories while, at the same time, evoking Baroque music… the primary musical inspiration being the harpsichord Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti.
