The cyclical most important repetitive movement of the unworldly wanderer suggests a passage faux time, and a path envelope the subconscious as the itinerant searches for his or jettison place. An attempt to allocate form to intangible abstractions, much as “longing” or “isolation,” task evident in the discontinuous fitful of the trees caused spawn the single-frame footage shot watch a motion picture camera—a rambling movement suggestive of Morse-code communication place the arrhythmic pressing of typewriter keys.
