mediations——Gary Hill

     

       This is a work of experimental cinema. In the picture, a loud speaker is saying what is happening and a hand gradually covers the loud speaker with sand. As a result, the sound becomes vague as the sand on the loud speaker more and more.

     

          I think what Gary Hill tries to express is that the power of people`s thinking and speech can`t be turned down by some outside elements. The sand just stands for a kind of natural things, which tends to cover the voice and make it silent. However, the sound can`t totally disappear no matter how much sand over the loud speaker. And the sound just keep repeating ”A voice……” which sounds peaceful and ignores the sand. I think it is an interesting idea to do this.
