Straight and Narrow (1970)

Straight and Narrow is a study of subjective colour and visual rhythm although it is printed on black and white film the hypnotic pacing of the images will cause most viewers to experience a programmed gamut of hallucinatory colour effects Through the intermediary of rhythm the maximal impact is drawn from the simplest of universal human images straight horizontal and vertical lines Set to a strong percussive musical background rapidly alternating images of black and white straight lines are juxtaposed in precise rhythmic patterns to create specific colours if you can watch without becoming hypnotised
