VHS; 3:32
in a life of habit, daily ritual and nightmarish acts all follow one obsessive track
 "I had this dream..." record static cycles over and over, beneath a hypnotic voice-over... |
 "...where I was trying to remember how many people I had killed." images shift...driving over a road at night...abandoned shoes twisting in the wind...a figure tossing and turning in bed... |
 "More than the experience...was the...impact of having done something that couldn't be taken back." |
 "Sometimes we don't think about what we're doing while we're doing it..." ...an alarm clock goes off... dream images of driving at night flash while awakening... |
 "It's all a question of habit, isn't it?" morning rituals repeat...water running at the sink...pouring cereal...water running at the sink... |
 "Just something we become used to doing." ...watching a night pedestrian... |
 "Our lives tend to follow the track that they're set in..." ...the static continues... |
 "...then it's too late..." ...a lone woman at the window...abandoned shoes dangling in the night... |
 "Habit becomes ritual..." ...pouring lotion...grabbing a watch... |
 "...ritual becomes habit." ...buttoning a shirt...straightening a tie... |
 "In dreams, you don't question what you're doing...It's as if...there's a set of constants that you take for granted...as if it made sense..." |
 "We don't think about what we're doing...while we're doing it." |
 "Only later when...the consequences have sunk in." ...the ash falls... |
 "Then it's too late." ...the woman at the window...the road at night, tumbling forward...the shoes dangle on the wire... |
 ...the record player is turned off and the static finally stops...a background buzz remains... |
