Imago

UK 2006 | 07:50 min | digital video, sound

Imago maps a series of frozen moments in the Los Angeles acting community. Each actor is seen in their day job delivering their favourite line from a movie. Conceived as a hypothesis that a person’s favourite line from a movie contains within it the essence of an ideal, a passion, conviction or sense of self, Imago is a meditation on the day to day architectural space where desire is incubated.
