2009

A dying man converses about a cherished, antique duck decoy. This recording is played back and re-recorded in a resonant space. With the repetition of this process, the natural resonant frequencies remain as melodic remnants of the speech. Video footage of a cumulus cloud pattern is projected onto a translucent surface. The video segment repeats itself, blurring slightly with each repetition until all legibility of the clouds is replaced with movements of light and color.
