Fragments

Fragments explores the episodic nature of storytelling by addressing the film trailer as cultural form.
With a lattice work of televangel broadcast segments, romance novel phrases, and an aria from Verdi's "La Forza del Destino,"
Fragments shuttles us through the walls of two adjacent studios; between the lives of two women dangling from a single mediated thread. Three lives. Two visions. One story.
