This video showcases the periphery of content outside the camera frame within the murder mystery
format, typically known for off-screen allusion to horror and mystification
of elements of the story to maintain suspense. The
narrative beyond what we see in an image is a limited view within a lineage of time and change. In this video, a linear fabricated narrative has been replaced
by excerpts of the production of the video, often repeated or distorted, creating
horror in a voice or a movement. What is peripheral and mysterious is the fabrication
inherent in the process of acting, directing, and video production.
