Killing Time Machine is constructed of 36 shots that mirror one another. They move clock wise and counter clock wise, from top to bottom and back to top. This meticulous yet mundane construction disguises a perplexing plot: four visitors at a wake. Each visitor pretends to have relations to the deceased, but later confess to be impersonators and a time traveller. The actors are not professional actors, expect the time traveller, played by Adam Harrison. Each soon reveals their real name, causing the constructed nature of the words and actions contained in the 72 frames that map the space to unravel. The video will be accompanied with a script and a diagram of the video.
