A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.

Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
