Ripples

Title taken from videotape compilation of Cha's short films. The first word that appears onscreen in the film is "ripples," but the film is referred to in the Dream of the audience book as "an untitled video." It is unclear whether ripples is in fact the title.; Date and other filmographic information taken from "The dream of the audience."; Text of poem follows, though there is no punctuation in the film. Using the convention in "The dream of the audience," periods represent hard image cuts, and commas represent camera pans between words: "ripples. gone. going. go again. gone. far. farther. far again. farther gone. going again. farther again. far. never. return. gone to return. going never, never to return. never. return to. go again. never. return to. far again, farther. gone. far gone never. never again far. never again, farther. return. return far. farther. again. return. gone never. going never. never go. never."; Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating.
