an interesting discussion - 'no place and time for' crying i think implies devastation, people beyond recovery, beyond crying as an expression, in other words, one way or another 'shell shocked' - in which case crying is reduced to zero time... temporary or permanent destruction of the self as capable of healing...

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.

      I would agree, with what is mentioned here in the reply, and 
      I'd add this call for submission
for a one second film is nonsensical and probably very insensitive to
many. I also didn't realize
that filmic/video experimentation is down to one second.
