Minus

1999 · 3 min

A hypnotic, abstract drift of hand-made light and rhythm that rewards patient eyes more than story.

Genres
Animation
Overview
Minus is a hand-processed, uncut, singular stream of movements. To take away: either to leave remnants of light or to leave remnants of rhythms. Entirely hand-processed and unscathed by the blades of the splicer. This is Chong's first 16mm film. Inspired by Ritchie Hawkin's Concept albums.
How it feels
Eerie, melancholic and whimsical. Slow-burning and demanding.
