Abstract

Abstract

adapts the key rhetorical figure of apophasis from Tobias Wolff's short story into a remarkable interrelation between sound and picture: an 'audiovisual apophasis', in which a series of memories negated by voice-over narration finds visual expression – and further accentuation – as a result of that very negation.
