"Exile and the Maiden: The performance art of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha," Korean Culture (Summer 1996): 15-16; Narrator: Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.; "The two super-8 mm films, projected onto the wall at 18 fps, show through time-lapse photography subtle changes in the definition and articulation of the composition. The videotape seen on the monitor involves text and still images dissolving into one another. Cha's distinctive voice-over, with its delicate, deliberate phrases in French and English, evokes a further poetic relationship between the meanings of different languages and images."-- John G.
