Description:
This video showcases the periphery of content outside the camera frame within the murder mystery format, typically known for off-screen allusion to horror and mystification of elements of the story to maintain suspense. The narrative beyond what we see in an image is a limited view within a lineage of time and change. In this video, a linear fabricated narrative has been replaced by excerpts of the production of the video, often repeated or distorted, creating horror in a voice or a movement. What is peripheral and mysterious is the fabrication inherent in the process of acting, directing, and video production.
