Exquisite Corpus

19 min. | Experimental | N-7

A naked couple from a 1960s nudist film climbs aboard a small sailboat, gliding over darkly tinged waters alongside a rocky coastline before stumbling on an isolated beach where a sleeping beauty lays. It takes nearly four minutes to arrive at this juncture, before images begin to flicker and tremble, intermingling and superimposing, nervously shimmering between positive and negative, multiple exposures, split screens and distortion effects.
