Additional Credits:
Overview: Colour. Explores the notion of what is creative expression. Frame opens with view of a concrete area, camera focused on the corner where the two walls meet. The camera moves into a medium shot than to an extreme close up of the corner. It is dusty. Loud classical music begins to play. The music stops suddenly and a foot wearing a white sock and a blue and yellow running shoe appears and begins to kick the corner, each impact of shoe on the wall echoing loudly. The shot switches to a close up of a male musician dressed in a black tuxedo playing the violin, then to an extreme close up of the violin's string and bow as it is being played. The images of the shoe kicking the corner and the violin playing flash alternatively back and forth. The loud kicking sounds of the shoes against the wall and the classical music, eventually merge to create a relationship between the 'musical noise' and the 'non-musical noise'. Piece ends with blue running shoe noisy 'finale'.
