2009

This is an experiment in exposure and real time trickery. It is a story with with beginning, middle and end. A series of actions executed and documented in a single static take, then reframed in space. There is a projection, a bucket that sounds, rocks and a mirror .

This is the story.

Here is Nandini Khaund.
Here is Marvin Tate.
Here is the camera.

The set is white.
They are not.
Thus they are visible.

Nandini appears.
She passes time.
She walks across.
Marvin appears.
He passes time. She disappears.
A BIG CRASH!!!!
He walks across.
She appears.
She passes time. He disappears.
She walks across.
He appears.
He passes time. She disappears.
A BIG CRASH!!!!
He walks across.
She appears.

This story never ends.
