Stricnina

The story revolves around the death of a dog, depicted in a subsequent film, a violent death occurring within a veterinarian's clinic; a man in a white coat administers the strychnine. The film then shows a moment when the animal’s eye emits violet-blue flashes, followed by nothing, though only seemingly so. What follows is a transition into sweetness, a continuation into death: the journey into death—the transfiguration—the images that return, only to vanish from memory, resurface from recollections in a purifying vortex that restores them to their essence. It is the gradual disintegration of the image into form, then into colors, then into light, and ultimately to the beginning: the vibration that constitutes the matrix of sound, light, and life. It is the cosmos that has made that flesh suitable for consumption over the course of a million years.
