100' of 16mm Kodak Ektachrome shot at a fun fair at night—an experiment in "affective vision." Dark forces present themselves in plain sight in this longed-for place of our childhood. As we let ourselves be mesmerized by its lights and colors, we reconnect with memories and fears hidden deep in our unconscious.
