Systems and Constraint - Kitty Huffman

Project no.3

The assignment was to use the Public Transportation System as a means of structuring 7 texts. These texts will then provide a constraint, or a series of constraints for an in-class performance.

Sitting on the train I overheard someone's phone conversation. Hearing only one side of the dialog, I was wondering, can a text be understood even with half of the information provided.. Can we piece together the meaning of the original text?

I chose a film that is based on a traditional narrative structure and it is built from a dialog between a man a and a woman. The film is from 1990, a thriller called 'Misery' with the screenplay from a psychological horror novel by Stephen King.

In this video I composed we hear the male character's voice, all his lines from the movie Misery, infused with images of a train ride, suggesting that we overhear a phone conversation or someone's internal dialog.
