There was a time, not very long ago, when it was hard to make geometric shapes moving around; you had to build things, think of physical solutions and embrace the resulting imperfections. This is an imagining of recreating that sort of process.

We accomplished this with bleach-white paper boxes, magnetized to acrylic stands, illuminated by blacklight, using a dolley, shot on 16mm film.
