Trilateral Descent is an expanded 20-minute film combining the illusory motion of a 16mm triptych with digital projection and live sound. The film explores what is often described to as ‘religious conditioning’, with the intention to provoke contradictory states of euphoria and horror, breaking these illusions down into a hypnotic physiological experience as the brain is forced to reconcile sight and sound.
The screen is prepared with three photodiode sensors, that respond to the phasing of light. This feedback system triggers custom-made analogue hardware in real-time and performed as a live soundtrack.
