Plots(1)

Consisting of multiple variations of interior and exterior views during a train trip, with the various images ordered into tidy grids evoking the ride, the film is primarily a journey through a landscape of text. It is based on Requiem, a composition by German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven, whose "mathematical music" creates sound from numbers that refer to important moments in cultural history, manually arranged into tables to create large-scale installations.
