Sourced from post-war German educational documentaries, this work presents images of scientific experiments, transport infrastructures and urban vignettes, re-edited together to gain a new abstract narrative. Each frame is etched with a circle, each time attempting to create the perfect circle - an organic testament to the beauties of imperfection.
