Two short video meditations set in the post-industrial landscape of the steel town of Pittsburgh.
Memory, the permanence of steel, the impermanence of industry and an invocation of the silent aftermath of decades of labour mark a steady measure of the flow of time.
Within these brackets, an instance of machinic immobility; a caesural, a brief interval between shifts. A time to stand, wait, observe and remember. Awaiting premonitions.


Premonition strikes, strikes once, and then once in a while.


An instance of the machine’s immobility is a ceasural, a brief interval between shifts. It stands, it waits, it questions.
Perhaps it has premonitions.
