Romanic

A coolly formal video experiment that repeats a domestic fight at three distances, growing louder visually and quieter aurally, leaving you uneasy and detached.

Directed by

Bruce Yonemoto, Norman Yonemoto

Overview

A couple's violent argument is repeated three times in this video, first in long shot, then in medium shot, and finally in close shot. As the camera moves in, the sound moves in the opposite direction; from a close perspective to silence. The subject of the argument satirically underscores the role electronic media plays in undermining the basic tenets of romantic relationships.
