520 "Shapes and images form and unform in a pattern of
continuous metamorphosis. As soon as an image seems to
make sense, it changes into something else. To paraphrase
the filmmaker's own thoughts, the film is an abstract
journey to the center of the galaxy where the viewer is
caught up in its spiral vortex and drawn into the nucleus.
There he [sic] enters into 'galactic consciousness,'
perceiving a vision of the entire cosmic sphere. At the
center, a pure creative force is revealed. To many viewers,
images and phenomena beyond astronomical ones are
suggested as the film unfolds."--Pyramid Films synopsis on
label inside can's upper lid.
