unfold (video essay)

An essay in (un)readability.

Just one novel, filmed countless times.
Just one shot, watched countless times.
They make me aware of how every act of reading is threatened by its reversal, the inability to understand and how repeating the same words only long enough renders them illegible.
The text and the shot, turned in my hands again and again, is a treasure map to where writing and paper, meaning and materiality can no longer be held apart.
