Abstract

This film takes its name from the three moments that comprise the life of a refrain as conceived by Deleuze and Guattari. Firstly, photography marks out space, keeps time, and assembles subjectivity. Secondly, the refrain circumscribes an ethos, a home, a circle of control, as in photographic genres. Thirdly, the refrain is destabilized; the photographic image constitutes an event of interruptive time in connection with the subjective pluralism which is the excess of the social.

Screened as part of Annexinema's evening of experimental and artists’ film loosely themed around ideas of community, place and migration.
