In One Way Out the film’s materiality, malleability and fragility are stressed bya suspended suction mechanism that movesthrough a pipe that enhances the flutteringsound. What traces does the film leave behind?The image projected is a random arrayof scratches and marks left by the frictionof the celluloid against the tin pipe duringthe exhibition. As both a sound pieceand a film sculpture, the work extends fromthe architecture of the exhibition spaceinvisible infrastructure.
