In this animation, the stills were again taken over a short period of real time, but here, their duration varies and they repeat for different periods. Time is stretched and distorted in this repetition and resequencing so that the frames are removed from linear time completely. Narrative is implied by the successive images but subverted in the disrupted repetitions.

Elements of recognisable gestures trigger memory and take on disquieting echoes. The viewer is held by the shifting gazes of the subjects replacing the viewpoint of the artist, the mother/wife of the subjects, whose fears are reflected in the accompanying wall text.

The double portraits are intended not merely as film stills, but to be the beginning of a process of looking in order to try and subvert long held beliefs. Ideally the viewer would see them first out of sight of the film and after looking from one to the other to recognise differences, carry the memory to the viewing of the film.
