Synopsis

Fast and fleeting: a road that winds through the interplay of a forward tracking shot (a car moving along the road) and a zoom-out attempting to hold it back – the underlying idea being, ideally, the perfec compensation of these two movements within a fixed frame where the only variations would be optical. The film is a series of games with space (and the film medium itself) through the superimposition of opposing sequences, and the deliberate time-lag that, by means of its various combinations, produces a constantly evolving space.
