Silent or with minimal sound, Hill's early formalist works explore the manipulation of electronic color and image density through the camera obscura and image processing devices.

In Objects With Destinations, ordinary objects such as pliers, a shopping bag and a hammer move in staccato rhythm across the screen, washed with subtle hues.
