Shown at British Film Institute in July 2010 as part of the Royal College of Art, Acoustic Images screening event
and the RCA Show Two, which took place during the last two weeks of June on the South Kensington campus.
The film was awarded The Chris Garnham prize for creative use of photography.
Blog post written about the film by Ryland Walker Knight:
'Honestly can't remember how I found this, but it was sitting open in a tab for a few days before I watched it.
Certainly a fine example of a 5Dmk2 doing film-like work, though its low light images are rather particularly
digital (which isn't a bad thing), making the sound a bigger part of the argument (as if the title didn't point there).
In any case, I dug how obfuscating it was, how it seemed like a test was being passed
but at the same time how these little compositions added up to something like an argument;
an argument about the sudden rush of the world, either by accident or by necessity, and about a fire on the horizon of life,
though its flames are lit not for light but for signalling. Which is to say for alerting the world to your mark,
which is a funny metaphor for emulsion given this digital blend'.
