The film is an attempt to constitute a human / machine dialogue. It shows the filmmaker´s blood as seen / heard with the eyes / ears of the machine which is a film projector with optical sound. The filmmaker affixed his blood onto transparent film leader. This was achieved by cutting into the flesh and then pressing the film leader onto the wound. It was also done by having blood taken by a nurse with a syringe and afterwards dripping the blood on the film leader. It was done with fresh and with clotted blood.
