Dune

This work incorporates a digitally altered and extended scene from Woman in the Dunes (Hiroshi Teshigahara, 1964) in which a man desperately attempts to escape from a sandpit. A sheet of curved steel acts as a screen, while also replicating the physical form that traps the figure.

Cut off from the storyline they were once a part of, a film clip and the character it contains are caught up in an absurd Sisyphean repetition in which time passes, but also stands still. This hybrid duration is created by merging  the mechanical transportation of a filmstrip's multiple frames  with a digital technology that, working on the level of pixels, transforms imagery from within a single, shifting frame - blind to the linear progression of traditional cinema.
