A Dance of Rainbows is intended to be a dual-projection diptych where two images are projected next to each other. The images are taken from still images shot on 35mm film, and subjected to a film soup / film soaking technique (recipe below). There is a left channel of the audio track corresponds to the archival footage in the left projection. The right channel audio track accompanies the film soup soaked film images on the right.

If watching at home or on a mobile device (not preferred), it is strongly recommended to wear headphones and watch the film in a darkened room. But, this film is best experienced in a theater. Click here to request a screening.
