This ready-made film is based on anonymous footage of a physics experiment filmed in Finland in the 1940s. I discovered an abandoned film can at the Finnish Film Archive labelled with a dirty sticker saying 'physical ring'. My attempts to find out more about the experiment led nowhere. All we see are kinetic 'magic' elements: what appears to be fire, magnets, heat, metal and motion. The installation consists of swaying, unending, unsynchronized footage that can be projected on one, two or three walls simultaneously, or even on the floor. The film version has a clear beginning, middle and end. (official distributor synopsis)
