The collage of flicker footages depicts the huge flow of information of mass media. Images we see on TV, on Internet contain more information than we need, even on one single item.

It is the wide range of choices that makes us take it for granted, that allows us to jump from one source to another without digesting the content. It also reflects the relationship between audio and visual.

The thing that keeps my interest is the familiar voices, the articulation of a language that provokes my nostalgia. | |||
