Flashes of dots, squiggles and lines scratched on the black leader create a space and an energy field to the rhythm of percussive African tribal music.
Len Lye’s uncompromising and poetic reduction of movement to its absolute essence.

They start running, then dancing, creating in the dark void a space and energy field to the rhythm of percussive African tribal music.
