“An afternoon visit in Changchun, China with cinema author Xiao Sen and his daughter Xiao Yao, together with Peer Bode, Rebekkah Palov is on camera. This is an exploration in electronic cinema tableau with cultural differences in front and behind the camera. Relational lens based dailies are analyzed and remapped in electronic signal form. I am interested in the cloudy fabrics. A simple recording busts open in inscriptions with richness and humor. We are all voyagers.”
