Science fiction had it’s great break-through in the 50’s, and a common theme was paranoia. In the movies, the cold war threat of a russian invasion was transformed into a threat from outer space. Mixed stills from these movies are rotating in a slide projector, with a synced sound track. The audio comes from the movies. The conversion from movie to stills creates a new story. The selection is based on the fear that aliens, computers, machines or even planets might take control over our thoughts or infiltrate our consiousness.
