1.) Higgins states that in the 1990's a new hybrid of "stasis" and non-stasis" emerged, forming a "counter presence". This still image was intended to "push the image into a field of both multiple social layers and incomplete image fragments". My question revolves around the fact of how is a image classified as "fragmented"? Some images that Higgins discussed as fragmented could possibly be images that if separated, could alone stand for the same cultural discourse they were intended to be.
2.) Douglas Gordon's "slowed" films are claimed to "reduce the narrative cinematic product to the foundation of the still frame". This process occurs through an extension of playtimes of twenty-four hours to seven days. Does this playtime literally mean physical playtime or pictures simply moving at slow speeds? Also, what audience is this aimed for (as the majority will not sit through a seven day "slow" film.)?
