In "Bulba", a group of people is eating in KFC. The camera is a Peeping Tom now staring at everyday unseen: we will see the story of the whole process told by tonal shifts given in change-of-state glances and expressions. Under the rolling sound of spoken lines from "Taras Bulba", en epic novella by Nikolay Gogol, the figures are delicately melting in the expanded cultural background, the background always being neutral. Such projections are about to touch the constraints of natural perception, where the cultural mechanism is the editor-in-chief.
