ABSENCE

Absence and Presence are shadows of each other – without the one the other would not exist.
Like clarity and obscurity they are required by each other; like meaning and absurdity they are partners in a dance.

Of the absence in these images:
On one level, it is the space outside the images of the people engaged in the moment. It is a blank, the duration before and after the event recorded in the film. Were it not for this film there would be a Nothing in its place.

On another level, since the original purpose of the event is forgotten, the film is meaningless.
Absurdity remains in its place and the figures are left dancing, running or just waiting for Godot.
Except that we look and cannot help ourselves but find an answer to our why.
