1 Plus 1 Plus 1 - Sympathy for the Decay

1 Plus 1 Plus 1 – Sympathy for the Decay is an abstract expressionist film in three episodes about the consequences of moral choices. It explores the manipulation of reality-based content and documentary material by adapting the conventions of experimental film and repetition in minimalist music to stretch the limits of narrativity and representation. Using three different documentary formats, it explores the disappearance of man-made materials into nature, pollution-related changes in micro-organisms, and tests performed on human cadavers. Each autonomous episode has its own distinct theme and form, yet together they built up into one conceptual, contextual, cinematic unity. (Verleiher-Text)
