LA Cigith Gato Con Julia – B&W Fireworks – Julia & Kittens

Staggering to a start, “LA Cigith Gato Con Julia – B&W Fireworks -Julia & Kittens” opens depicting trance-inducing sirens shrouded by visual noise and darkness. The location and subject pivots taking interest in a young iteration of an Elam regular, a black kitten, scampering about a tile floor. Enticingly, a woman (seemingly the titular Julia) stands in front of the kitten dangling a toy. Remaining relatively stagnant, the camera captures the cat’s frantic play;however, through a series of jump cuts, the short mirrors the cat’s frenzy. For a brief moment, the camera cuts to another black kitten perched lazily (seemingly the other half of the feline pair which litters Elam’s work).
