Picture

infinite spiral

trailer

Infinite Spiral uses found footage of a party from the early 1960s. Dancers often appear to be in a trance, lost in the frenzy. While editing I thought of dance manias that occurred between the 14th and 17th centuries. Driven by religious fervor, social unrest and other motives, dancing would continue in a group fury until exhaustion and collapse. A soundtrack of vocal samples, beats and electronic effects was combined with digital visual effects with this choreomania in mind.
