    This second installment of the Detour series invites the viewer to revisit the perceptual experiment conducted in Detour 1 only instead of presenting the images in a rapid succession, here they are slowly fragmented almost like a puzzle occasionally coming together to form complete images.

    A performance experiment consisting of nearly 3 hours of home video footage arranged in an edit timeline and manually scrubbed at high speed in an attempt to generate random sensory impressions similar to memory fragments within the viewer's mind from which a personal subliminal narrative can be derived, similar to that of a recovering amnesia patient.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the connection !

     
    Tell me when are these times that I have dreams about
    Are they mere memories of better days gone by
    Unsubstantial fancies fated to fade away
    Or horizons waiting to be arisen to ? 

    And the fire I felt when this hope was brand new 
    When not even Everest could have kept me from you
    Has it burned its brightest or just given a hint
    Does it smolder for chance or consume its last fuel ?

    And the bridge you promised would serve as my footing
    Had I strayed from the path or was my step unsure
    Perchance that fall was meant to complete my healing
    So I'd see for myself what my strength could endure ?

    Weren't you the blue bird that had awaken me
    As I laid in the cold suffering of torment
    Sung me out of starving, loathing and lethargy
    Invited me to rise and resume my ascent ?

    As I now look forward to more of your magic
    Contemplating what so far had kept me bemused
    Just ahead are the times I have dreamt ecstatic
    I see the horizons and I am reinfused


    Best wishes,
    Chris
