"Confrontation of the devilish mechanisms of film-making with the 19 satanic rituals to evoke the devil’s help. The structure of the movie was built on 19 stills of Alfred Hitchcock’s film The 39 Steps. The movie was mostly accompanied by a live music mix of Arnold Schoenberg’s Erklärte Nacht and Danny Devos chanting the enochian version of the ritual texts to be performed during the original rituals, found in the notorious book of Anton Szandor Lavey.
The story is about 3 friends, a fight and a murder.
Human perception must be complex. Insight in the evolution of visual perception shows that the evolution of the art forms is entangled with human patterns of behaviour. In every cultural period the same sort of changesoccured all over the globe during long period of evolution. The process of "looking" probably stayed the same, what changed was the interpretation and reproduction of the chosen visual. Each civilization developed its own artistic concepts, that influenced all persons who lived in the given historical period."
