Marla's Vagina This short film is based on a diagram of Fight Club, a movie by director David Fincher based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk which describes the relationships between the city and the characters and events that overlap within this system. This film was shot and produced in four days of continuous tasks that were completed thru out Manhattan and Coney Island along an axis line. The idea was to trace this line, or vector, thru Manhattan which functions as a path for possible futures. The vector [field] functions as a "far from equilibrium condition," one that is a gradual or sudden accumulation of energy. Time begins to thicken and become flesh. Cache's concept of image/frame/soul and Delanda's soul/transformations are used to develop a field condition of de-framing. This new established territory and seperatrix creates a topological inversion which occurs at a moment when noise is introduced to the system. Time starts to fold over onto itself. The concavity and convexity in the seperatrix as one surface start passing thru similar points along the vector. Soul and time fold thru themselves. The film engages with a second vector; one that is outside of the possible futures. The two vectors cross over each other at moments of inflection in the system. The arrival at Coney Island at 3:00am in 10 inches of snow folds into the Southport Fish market. Passing thru the tunnel, a gap in time transports us back onto the first vector. The sun rises at the beginning of the film, signaling a starting point, but the sunset and nightfall blur into a single event. The day never ends, as we know a day.
