The Butterfly Story I is a video travelogue of images, visual associations and sound effects in China. Our dreams to go somewhere far away escape the dimensions of ourselves. Nothingness is accomplished here by reversals of time in space and space in time. One sees how a tremendous impact is possible to achieve by technically reverting the linearity of time: going backwards with the simplest video switch is sometimes the most adequate measurements of our feelings and thoughts. (Marina Gržinić)
