Tide

Flash animation video, silent
19' 53"
2010


This animated video is premised upon the sentence "I never want to see you again," appearing repeatedly in different texts in varying colours. Taken from Google search results and used out of context, the words and phrases fade in and out at a rhythmic, meditative pace, resembling the tide of the sea as language, meaning and emotional context break down. What's left behind from this arbitrary collection of texts is a landscape of vibrant dots flashing on the screen, evoking a sense of accumulation over time.
