A starship captain in a silver wrap dress lounging on an inflatable magenta chair in a cluttered 1970s sci-fi set, holding glowing tape.

Draped across an inflatable Mylar captain's chair, a starship captain in a metallic wrap dress unspools a glowing magnetic tape reel across her bare thigh. The frame captures the chaotic spirit of 1970s counter-culture absurdism on 16mm Kodak Ektachrome 7242 reversal stock, complete with coarse grain, saturated magenta and cyan lighting, an orange-red light leak, and visible film rebate along the border.
