Jean-Isadore Isou sought to revolutionize art and cinema.Part of this revolution had to do with how sound was used to disrupt the moving image.
Or from another perspective, how the concepts of the Lettrist Movement, translated to film, disrupted the secure notions of the viewer as being outside the film.
During the third sequence of this film, titled, The Proof, angry male voices become a dissonant background. This underlying vocal layer, like an unseen canvas of chaotic sound, becomes a moving unseen image, behind the cinematic.
Can this purposeful use of disturbing, chaotic sound be seen in itself as an unseen image.
Isou writes: In this work, I was more excited about the schism of image than about satisfying the demands of convention."
This schism of image is perhaps an early attempt to see between the frames , where four trajectories: art, philosophy, cinema, and sound crash in the viewer's subconscious.
