An empty shell rocks back and forth on four asynchronous screens, each one slightly displaced from the other in
time. Some are known to rock as a way to self-soothe.
This video borrows from the fugue — a compositional technique in classical music where a phrase is introduced by
one part and is successively taken up by others and developed by interweaving the parts. The term fugue can be
traced back to the latin verbs fugere (“to flee”) and fugare (“to chase”). In the temporal weave of the fugal videos,
the image is never at rest. It is always either fleeing from or chasing after itself, opening itself up to chance
encounters and potential resonances.
