What happens

Secession er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1996 instrueret af Jesper Fabricius efter eget manuskript. Med levende billeder af nøgne kvinder skaber instruktøren et pirrende og dunkelt univers af noget allerede kendt og helt nyt. Vi aner dem - gående, siddende, liggende, forsvindende - i klassiske positurer med henvisninger til billedkunstens skatkammer; Goya, Duchamp, André Kertésc, Man Ray, Richard Winther m.fl. En eksperimentalfilm, der har opnået sin mættede stoflighed ved forskellige manipulationer af selve det filmiske materiale i fremkalderprocessen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
