Dear Peter,

Two of my films, *The Gas Thus Cuts in Bits* (2012-13) and *The
Illuminating Gas* (2012) were made entirely as explorations of optical
sound. Images are subsidiary to the soundtrack. I usually present them in a
performance setting (The Gas Works
<http://esperanzacollado.org/WORKS/thegasworks.html>) that includes
pre-recorded
voice, sewing machine, gas mask, feather duster, and altered loops apart
from the projection of the two mentioned films. During the performance,
cinema is literally derailed and subjected to stitching (not without a
great dose of humour). I'd be happy to show you videos and documentation if
interested. The two films were intended to break during projection (there's
no copies and no negatives), but they are still in one piece. I also have
digital scans of them.

Best,

Esperanza Collado
