The film work A Home for a Unique Individual is is a double synchronized 35mm projection on a central screen: on the one side, aerial shots of trailer cities and streets that take on an abstract connotation; on the other side, fragments of text that seem to describe the activity of the film camera. A drummer has been asked to read these text-images like a music score and interpret them using several typewriters as a drum set. The text is inscribed into the looped film, with both images converging and superimposing on one surface.
