Circling

1975, Colour, 12 minutes, 1”master
Music composed and performed by Simon Desorgher



The key visual motif of a slowly spinning form is used as a visual metaphor for cyclical process in nature in general.

Whilst there is no direct attempt to visualise specifically astronomical events, Circling triggers cosmic associations in most people. It would be equally valid to suggest its connection to an individual’s inner space rather then a collective outer space.

In parallel with the visuals, the soundtrack utilises repeating elements that circle back to themselves, and was performed as a live mix of eight pre-recorded loops running randomly against one another.
