The video is composed of many looped film fragments from early non-fiction films (ca. 1895-1935), mainly industrial films related to coal or oil, microscopic recordings from laboratories and sequences filmed during Dutch colonial expeditions. Navratil focuses on the representation of industrial reproduction, science and research as dynamic processes. Bubbling liquids, trickling heaps of material, smoking volcanos and floating microorganisms are mounted within a moving white grid and with a soundtrack composed by Natalia Dominguez Rangel.
