Lost Lascaux Bull

I was drawn to the early cave paintings of Lascaux and Altamira for as long as I can remember. One day looking thru some reproductions in an art history book with portable video camera in hand I recorded a still of a Lascaux bull. Lighting a fire and borrowing a video mixer from a friend which could input two cameras, the image transmuted from book to superimposition in the fire to playback on a video tv screen with radio frequency interference. The soundtrack playing on a record player in my living room was from an early 1970’s French archival recording of Melanesian drumming and vocals.
