DAPHNE (PURPLE RED) uses color both to estrange what the camera sees and to build a new language; an image in which color and form are more famous that description. Alternating between geometric and biological forms,with multiple exposures creating the type of color-separation more often seen in print, the film is in counterpoint to an organ recital of an anonymous score, or itself seemingly bridging a boundary; this time between Renaissance and Baroque music.
