The Third Interval
2010, 8:39, 2-channel installation
video clip

The Third Interval is named for Paul Virilio's writings on speed, the Internet, the human place on the electronic bullet train. Shot with my old Nokia 6130 cell phone and sound-mixed using Apple's GarageBand software, this is a low-tech homage to the in-between spaces of everyday life. I was in the mood for letting the ordinary horrors of day to day existence surface - the confusion of strangers, noise, and the universe of near-misses that one can sometimes feel pulling at one's heels. But please remember that a horror movie is always about the engagement of mystery, wonderment and fear.
