The photos has a relationship to quite a disparate combination of image-based activities, from formal statue to Vogue to some kind of feminist liberation imagery from the 60s. The way it speaks about time as a series of atomised embalmed moments, the way it quivers on the edge of vibrating movement and complete stillness.

Step 3. The question

You put your question, receive your answer and depart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

This myth being interpreted here is Pythia, the name of the priestess’ of the oracle at Delphi. The film is as a journey to Delphi, the construction of the narration is driven by the lack of distinction between being the one asking questions and giving answers. The act of submission passing into the role of the oracle and a re-enacting the plea to gain insight into the forthcoming course of life becomes the same motion.   

The film might rather be a non-film, than a film. A montage, not only as moments in time, but as points in space so saturated that, they become living moments with the essence and aura of celluloid film but travelling and reverberating in many more directions than simply back and forward, transcending time and place.
