Fragments

1987 · 24 min

A slow, fragmentary drift through ordinary city moments that feels like browsing someone's restless, somber visual diary.

Overview
Eyes and ears travel discontinuously through everyday life and the sub-worlds of the city and the body. A fragmented and subjective day-to-day chronicle that outlines a recurring obsession for registering even the most ordinary things, where the least poetic aspects of life, that is to say, the most somber ones, become the eye’s filter.
