This 1 minute and 32 second experimental film deconstructs the comic book covers, music and video game images from the City of Heroes franchise. Beginning with an abstract micro view and building in detail over time to a representational macro view of the many characters of Paragon City.
The work itself was inspired by the experimental films of Stan Brakhage (Mothlight and The Garden of Earthly Delights) and Lewis Klahr (Two Minutes to Zero and Two Hours to Zero) as well as the numerous characters and storylines set in Paragon City.
The film presents brief, almost subliminal glances into the various tropes of duality including heroes and villains, gender representation and roles through its flickering imagery and in the end asks the viewer to consider what it means to be a superhero.
