Metathesiophobia 2011



Digital HD file, 16:9, 100 minutes and 54 seconds, sound
A cropped, long single-shot footage shows three characters sitting at a table, packing a white powdery substance into sachets, accompanied by an off-screen, nonsensical voiceover produced by re-editing an audio extract from René Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy (1641). The extract was cut into sentences and then pieced together aleatorily, producing a voiceover that superficially appears to have discernible meaning.
Performers: Elisabete Goncalves, Zenaida Alfama Medina, and Irineu Destourelles/ Camera: Luís Carlos Fontes de Alencar Filho and Mamadou Diop/ Direct sound: David Medina.
