Three minutes of a close-up on a clock. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a close-up on the white lines of a highway appears. Speed and minimalism melt together. The next image is that of a labourer, lugging a pile of cables. The movement of an escalator in a subway station follows and finally the flickering of a traffic light for pedestrians changes from red to green and back again. This work is a short, intelligent and vibrant study on montage.
