Shifts in perception, strange interstitial spaces within the everyday where one ones own mind or a passing thought brought to bear by some fleeting phenomenon can launch laconic imaginings into multiple directions. As a work intended to loop, it encounters none of the difficulties faced by ordinary workaday time based media projects, and as such is able to describe a transcendent moment of placelessness with the grace, ease, and precision of a trained killer moonlighting as a world class dancer. Within the timeless infinity of Miller all things are simultaneously singular and plural, starting and finishing, calm and frightening, serious and funny.
