English
"A feverish stasis collapses into infinite distraction, spinning on the axis of an algorithm. Each pulse, an uncertain tone, breathes electricity into a half-alive world. Time stretches like soft polymer; metamorphoses creep forward frame by frame, suspiciously slow, as if the film were watching me back. Photographic fragments are transferred onto clay, not quite sculpture, not quite collage, but something in between: a Tonermorph. Figures emerge mid-gesture, faces unsealed yet never whole, suspended within the patterns of their own skin. They falter, caught in an action bog of their own making, or perhaps mine. A work of non-narrative cinema, the piece is guided by a score from electroacoustic and musique concrète composer Andrew Zukerman. Created during a 2025 summer residency at the Toronto Animated Image Society, with production funding support from the Society."
