we were waiting for a train
Video, 2017

A club owner, a house pianist, a guest at a restaurant and a waiter are having several conversations, talking about a train they were waiting for. In each of these dialogues, connected in a disruptive narrative, we are told by an incident which both has occurred and are yet to occur.

The film is the first chapter in an ongoing series. The second chapter is They built the widened coral reef (2019) and the third chapter is There is a gun in the exoskeleton of the car (2021).

Video, 13:07 min, stereo, hybrid animation.
