A spiral design spins. It's replaced by a spinning disk. These two continue in perfect alternation until the end: a spiral design, a disk. Each disk is labelled and can be read as it rotates. The messages, in French, feature puns and whimsical rhymes and alliteration. The final message comments on the spiral motif itself.

Siiiiiiii más cortos avant-garde para mí.

Es un sentimiento universal el que Duchamp nos deje pensando, buscando un sentido a lo que acabamos de ver, no por obligación de buscarle un significado a los seis minutos de vida que perdemos con la obra. En realidad es algo más natural, una curiosidad ligada a la extrañeza y a la vez sencillez de lo audiovisual. Complicado de explicar y de defender, simplemente uno lo siente.

Bro no way that was seven minutes, I have no idea what I just watched. It felt like they gave this guy a camera, 10 bucks, a whole kitchen full of utensils and weed and said go to town. Like what even was that I felt like I was being hypnotised into joining a cult…
The music reminded as if Tom was chasing Jerry around the house
