FACE WITH A HOLE-MOUTH

Face with a Hole-Mouth experiments with superimposition in video editing to evoke an indeterminate condition of the Self as it shifts between multi-dimensional layers in video imagery. Within the first dimension, the Self is the All that is opposed to Nothing. It is a face that resists being submerged into a hole.
On the second dimension, the Self is the All which integrates Nothing. It is a mouth swallowing both a hole and the face which resists the hole. A third dimension emerges when the first and second dimension collapse. The Self becomes a non-orientable surface when a hole that is inside a face, a face that is inside a mouth, and a mouth that is inside a hole become indeterminate coexisting states.
