It has taken me some time to find a response. I believe it's through a sense of the absurd that this work, and others I've done, has found an expression. Other than the one second film festival, there's also the leap second festival, a biennale.no (which doesn't take place), etc. It questions the relation between art and the world, representation, the non-representational. Incongruence all around. The theme of "I cry and I cry" is also about an inability to cry, there's no place and time for it, becoming insensitive through violence and media, not being able to process it. Absurdity I think is a key. Nothing is working, there's no fix. No understanding.
