Televised footage of the Rodney King/Reginald Denny beatings is re-presented as an extended series of hand-processed images that slowly dissolve from recognizable beings into anonymous figures. As each generation of images becomes increasingly distressed, King and Denny are revealed as victims of the same moving pictures that originally captured their innocence.

The mutual disintegration of filmic and racial color is illustrated through a broad range of photo-chemical manipulations, including: negative and cross-process developing; solarization; and temperature and agitation-based effects on grain, color, and emulsion. Suburban and natural sound elements rise and fade with each generation of images.
