A visual collage experiment that combines live action footage with abstract images and textures drawn directly on 16mm film. The soundtrack consists of assorted tape loops, while the live action footage captures scenes from an early Chicago Earth Day parade and a casual Janiak family gathering. Inspired by musique concrète and the work and writings of John Cage and Gertrude Stein. Preserved by Chicago Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
