“Today is Sunday”

“Today is Sunday” is a film and a series of photographs. The photographs were shot from the original 16mm film and layered to simulate both the temporal experience of watching a film and the compression of images that come with memory and the passage of time. To view the film and the photographs together in an installation is akin to bringing the dead of the frozen images back to life creating a ghostly and otherworldly experience.

“Today is Sunday” is both a still life and a landscape film in which the characters are described by nature. The clouds, the wind, the waves, articulate their presence. A dialogue is established between the external environment, the sound, the weather, and the internal musings of the female character.
