‘A moment of one frame structured in a certain length of black and clear (white) film with (synchronized), and without one frame (length) of sound. Watch and listen carefully, otherwise you miss the frame: One frame.’ – T.I.

‘The film is concerned with the “duration” (or non-duration) of one frame, the minimum unit of film. The frame appears in space (dark and light) with sound (or silence) and their various combinations. Occasionally the frame has a color of red or yellow. One can’t anticipate exactly when the frame comes, even though the series has a distinct repeating order. Like an unexpected break or lightning, it is a very distinct moment which I found quite exciting.'(T.I.)
