FLOATING FLIES
An experimental film about blocked vision
By Victoria Halper
(c) Victoria Halper
A short film exploring the permanent and uncontrollable changes to the eye that aging brings with it through the perspective of a young woman. The desire for clear vision is challenged by semi-transparent and opaque untouchable black objects floating in one's eye, known as mouches volantes. An autobiographical experimentation on film and digital material featuring analog shadows of specks of dust and mould inside the camera lens, overclocked digital static and ever-increasing ominous black holes of nothingness.
