The first part of Reading Film from “Knots” by R. D. Laing shows various pages of a text written by Scottish psychoanalyst Ronald D. Laing where he converts real cases of human interaction into abstract and paradoxical verbal models. This way of presenting the same situation as a function of different viewpoints and with different ends, echoes the segmentation that David Lamelas employs in gathering information. Each page remains on screen long enough to allow the viewer to read and comprehend the text. In the second part we see a woman reading the same text.
