Artist Statement

I am going to show two movies edited at 24 frames per second. I set myself two rules en making these movies. Rule 1: Even though both movies, “People Coming & Going In Town “and “People Relaxing In A Cafe”, are made up of many short scenes, I wanted to create the same situation in both. Rule 2: Divide each scene into 24 frames. From scene to scene, the transition should take exactly one second. I followed both these rules. Despite the subtleness and uncertain flickering, there is a calculated moment of certain existence.
