The Dragon’s Tail, 2019
Film, 6’36’’, black and white, stereo, 16:9, 25 fps
“The Dragon’s Tail” consists of a visually dense poem transcribed into subtitles over a black screen. The voice reciting the poem is ethereal yet distorted, saturated, as if sharing a secret through a walking-talkie or during a radio transmission. Although the viewer is denied visual identification with the narrator or the subject, the voice seemingly possesses the ability to move through time and space. Reflecting on our collective visual memory, the film questions if imagining something can be as truthful as experiencing it in reality.
