Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
