Gradually, it becomes evident that this is a shot of ocean waves crashing on a beach. The same image is manipulated on a computer so its color and emulsion (positive to negative) changes. The color is changed to orange, black and white; then to red, purple, and pink. At times the waves look like explosions, then like clouds forming. The color changes to the blue end of the spectrum, then returns to red, green, and white. Electronic music accompanies the images.; PFA 1608-24-1222.
