The Correspondence

The Correspondence, 1987, 7 min., 8 sec., film and video, black and white, stereo
The Correspondence explores the physical and psychological distance between a couple.

The sequences were shot on film, then transferred to video via sand-blasted glass to enhance the sensory quality of film. Shot in Chicago.
