Frame Drag
1988 / 2009 / 2024
The home video of an adolescent is fused to an adult self via the effects of the time-dilated image. The figure is simultaneously sent 25 years into the future, to await some unknown proposition. The two protagonists – observers – engage in a polychronic gesture, abstracted by contact with a third observer, in the form of their future lover.
