Synopsis

In 1900, Max Planck proposed the Law of Radiation, which states that the light “spontaneously emitted by ordinary objects” depends on their temperature. Thus, a piece of wood that catches fire must emit a gradation of different colors as its temperature rises. Based on this hypothesis, a 16mm celluloid film is directly exposed to the radiation of a fire, without the mediation of an optical system.
