This project is a continuation of Chambers' experimentation with Kasimir Malevich's "Black Square" and Suprematism. The pieces are generated from movie trailers. Their configuration within the confines of the "Black Square" move them in the direction of Suprematism with a kinetic component that incorporates the sound track. They are in keeping with many of Malevich's Suprematist pieces that are painted on a slant, and simulate the geometry of terrain/objects seen in an aerial photograph. On another note, the pieces involve the anachronism of past generations' narrative/dialogue/score blended with Abstract Expressionism in its kinetic form; and what's even more interesting is the fact that this form is of itself ... the movie trailer.

Malevich founded the art movement, Suprematism in Moscow, 1913 as a parallel to Constructivism. Suprematism ["supremacy of forms"] is a study in abstraction conceived in itself ... non-objective and not related to anything except geometric shapes and colors ... and a precursor to Minimalism. Malevich states, "Under Suprematism I understand the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art. To the Suprematist the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth. I took refuge in the square form and exhibited a picture which consisted of nothing more than a black square on a white field. It is filled with the spirit of nonobjective sensation which pervades everything. This is no empty square, but rather the feeling of non-objectivity."
