The ashtrays, jackstraws, bobbins, and many more objects depicted in the film reveal abstract aspects and form abstract patterns while they still remain clearly recognizable as common objects. This tension between abstract and concrete qualities is further elaborated by the constantly changing color relations. The fast paced visual rhythms are enhanced--and clarified--by the rhythm of the accompanying music. 541 0 PFA 1604-01-14500.
