A frenetic, densely layered experimental animation that uses rapid-fire imagery and absurdist commentary to create a poetic, Beat-influenced meditation on perception and meaning.

Featuring a commentary by Noël Burch (in nonsense French), Recreation's rapid-fire montage of single-frame images of incredible density and intensity has been compared to contemporary Beat poetry.
