AXIOM -The rhythm of clapping hands, the repetition of images in equally timed segments: We are lulled and seduced.

NOTE: The text was edited from the writings of Amédée Ozenfant (1886-1966).
Awarded Best in Category —The Medium is the Message and Third Place overall at the Toronto Urban Film Festival, 2010.
