One of my favorite movies is Climax, directed by Gaspar Noe. My process for this project was to bring this image to life by using it in correlation with an iconic scene in Climax when a dance troupe discovers their sangria has been spiked with acid. The French audio in the beginning is the different dancers confronting one another and attacking who they think may have spiked them. I used my image primarily by cutting and repeating bits of it and fading these pieces repeatedly to bring about more intensity. I continue to glitch it out in short spasms over the audio of the scene, which simultaneously is altered with effects like reverb, paulstretch and distortion. I also upped the bass to make the ending sound more sinister. The final scream is from the scene of this image, where Selva reaches the peak of her psychedelic trip and spirals into insanity.
