After viewing this piece, the first thing that came to my mind was: "How did Brakhage make this?"
After researching more about this, I was able to find the following: "This is a hand-painted film which has been photographically step-printed to achieve various effects of brief fades and fluidity-of-motion, and makes partial use of painted frames in repetition (for “close-up” of textures). The tone of the film is primarily dark blue, and the paint is composed (and rephotographed microscopically) to suggest galactic forms in a space of stars."
As stated above, the artwork looks like you're looking up at space, toward a never ending galaxy. The galaxy is constantly changing colors and shades -- blue, green, reds, pinks, oranges, etc. It is a masterpiece that definitely took a lot of time, dedication, and effort to create, and Brakhage's legacy still lives on today.
