A film which, by the use of a simple camera movement, explores and reviews some relationships to the ground. The viewpoint continuously orbits places, objects, people and events. The observations gradually speed up to reveal a double sided ground flipping like a tossed coin, then slow again to oscillate about the earths edge.
The earth seems to continually flip over in this special trick film by artist Tony Hill. In his own words, it's a film which "by the use of a simple camera movement, explores and reviews a number of relationships to the ground". The effect has been mimicked in pop vidoes for songs by Cabaret Votaire and Pulp.
