This experimental short film transports viewers into an abstract world filled with white specks and shapes that dance gracefully against a black backdrop, inviting us to explore the world through a fresh and unconventional lens. At its heart lies Kiki of Montparnasse, also known as Alice Prin, depicted in all her ethereal beauty through a series of light-striped, gyrating silhouettes that capture the essence of the Dadaist movement. The film's main character is juxtaposed with intricate geometric patterns, specifically an eggcrate, as it too gyrates and moves in perfect harmony with the rest of the visual landscape. This surreal experience serves as a testament to one of the first films that embraced the artistic spirit of Dadaism, challenging conventional norms and inviting us to question our own perceptions of reality through the power of cinema.
