Form's Dilemma is an eight minute video consisting of downloaded MP4 clips in relation to selected images and their words, which are sequenced alphabetically. There is no J word or image and the same applies to the letter U.
The title Form's Dilemma refers to Hollis Frampton's film Zorn's Lemma, which utilizes a parallel alphabetical structure. Form's Dilemma avoids montage......there is no relationship between an Airplane and a cluster of Boxes aside from the fact that B follows A alphabetically. There is a reliance on images concerned with weather, nature, and animals.
Form's Dilemma could not be described as a grouping of images in search of a form, because the alphabet is always there to provide form.
