The Trial by Fire is the first part in a conceptual cycle inspired in part by Terrason’s Sethos and the monumental architecture of Étienne-Louis Boullée. The film is shot on Super 8 film stock and refilmed as a composite image. The three sections are intended to be projected simultaneously over three walls.
