One of the most perfect, intense and exhilarating films I’ve ever seen. It is profoundly difficult to articulate the full-body shift of this film in my current state, I feel as though the spirit has escaped the body.
Takashi Makino’s praxis tends to be the process of taking a tangible image (e.g a field of grass) and then layering it with many other images until the image’s own tangibility is mostly gone. This abstraction amidst a frenzy of layering and superimposition creates an infinite possibilities of vision. It creates a third-image in the viewers own eyes. Sometimes the films pattern shifts, disintegrates into a blinding white light. Is this how it feels to be born? Near-death experience? Wakening states? This infinity of vision, Makino said his ideal film would “give rise to the same number of new cosmoses as there are viewers.”
The film begins in a sort of void. Before haptic patterns of textured light take over from this seemingly still opening. Moving with an endless variety of space and depth illusions across the horizontal and vertical. Before an impossible tone of blue gradually emerges and disperses into clouds of blue light. This visceral ecstasy of music in space before new colours, spaces and pure shapes are introduced all with their own reactions in ones nervous system. Tangible sounds and intangible images create a sort of pooling in ones mind. Calm sounds from an open window above a suburb or perhaps a park against a frenzy of images, are we truly seeing thoughts? Is this what sound looks like? Atoms at the edge of the cosmos? The film feels like it has the visual density of sea or clouds; something that can at one moment be cacophony and the next moment be tranquil.
It will likely take me another age to describe this film entirely but here’s a start I suppose.
