Synopsis

Chroma-dance is a short abstract film that is an experiment in colour rhythm and movement, referencing both the visual music and materialist/conceptualist traditions in avant-garde filmmaking.

This film consists of thirty filmed images of found colour and simple colour patterns that are assembled into a two dimensional array of five groups of six images. These images are then subjected to permutations of the order within each group (i.e: 123456 becomes 234561) and the order of the groups. These permutations of the images can be compared to a theme and transformations schema in tonal music or to the procedures of serialist atonal music or to the conceptualist chance – operation methods of John Cage.
