Les Fleurs Du Mal, Sept. 2006, v. 1, no. 2, pp. 21-23
Lendrum explores the effect of video used to capture still images and its relationship to tableau vivant and photography. Photography kills the subject, film restores a semblance of life. But, when the filmic subject performs stillness it resembles the undead, "stasis zombified".
