"That's all..."

In this split-screen work a film actor is digitally frozen in mid-speech, while a tape recorder in the same frame continues to spin. The figure should be muted (sound cannot exist on a single frame) yet the recorder manages to capture an unearthly noise,  bridging the gulf between stillness and motion.

This sound infiltrates the more conventional temporality of the lower screen, where a character desperately attempts to pull the audio apparition back into a more comprehensible narrative form.

The temporal differences between film sound (a continuous wave running along the edge of a filmstrip) and film imagery (thousands of fragmented frames) are highlighted, while also suggesting how digital media can reinterpret this once fixed relationship.
