Five aspects
- constriction
- nervousness
- the physical
- the day
- to be seen/not seen
Constriction
Video opens in an empty stairwell, going down. Lens is partially obscured by a bone placed over the lens, so that there is a peep-hole effect.
The hole shifts around over the course of the journey down the stairs, moving towards the edge of the camera screen, edging back up to the middle. It changes.
Viewer can periodically see the stairs that are yet to come.
No audio.
Continuous shot.
Nervousness
Video comprises of four parts showing nervous movement, sped to last 15 seconds each.
The first is obsessive hair-brushing.
The second is nervous hands knitting
The third is the jittery leg.
The fourth showcases worry, with subject on the bed in the corner biting nails
No audio.
The Physical
Video opens to show that subject has gotten a nosebleed.
Subject examines it for some time in the mirror, and carefully wipes it away and rinses, even though the blood has not stopped.
No audio.
The Day
Video is spliced from different footage shot of a journey in public crowds: The ceiling of the hallway in the Arlington T-stop, the floor of it, crowds from each made stop.
This footage is sped up and cycled through, with intermittent interruptions. The first interruption comes at the 12 second mark for a brief flash of the journey-taker tired and staring in bed. The second interruption is two seconds of the same, at the 27 second mark, and again at the 34 second mark, and again for three seconds at the 41 second mark. It flashes back to the journey footage for another second and the remaining 15 seconds is the rest of the footage that was flashed during the interruptions.
Audio only on segments not of the trip.
To Be Seen/Not Seen
The camera is placed under the stairs, occasionally peeking around.
