SHIFT (1997)
SHIFT explores the loss associated with movement from one place to another and the loss associated with an intimate experience of death. Death deconstructs. Things fall apart including the sense of a unified self. Ideas of continuity and stability are eroded. Images shot in Scotland, Saskatchewan and Montreal are combined with studio footage to create an associative narrative about an experience for which ordinary language is inadequate.
