KATOPTRON is a kind of visual and auditory pudding containing, among other ingredients, the madness of Abel Gance's Doctor Tube. The distortion of visual perception, which is the theme of Gance's film, proliferates in KATOPTRON. Fiction cinema (Kubrick) as well as experimental cinema (Malcolm Le Grice) and video art (Gary Hill) are absorbed by this vortex. However, the saturation does not prevent a certain paradoxical order from emerging from this chaos.
