Lover, Beloved In this experimental blend of film, theater, and music, Suzanne Vega reinterprets two talks Carson McCullers gave at the 92nd St. Y in NYC. During the first, in 1942, she drinks her way through the lecture, revealing messy romances and illnesses. In the second, 25 years later, she confronts her mortality, reminiscing on her novel and play The Member of The Wedding; also on her twice failed marriage and romances of both sexes, ending on the credo she forged with her husband. Agape love matters in this life, not Erotic. Ironically, Carson McCullers, despite her compassion, is destined to solitude.

1960::Movie::Still This video contrasts the moving and the still image. A sequence was taken from the iconic film L'Avventura made in 1960 by Michelangelo Antonioni with Monica Vitti . The soundtrack is a train trundling at night through the Carpathian mountains towards Bucharest.

Song Lines The sound of clapping hands and voices of two African girls orchestrate the thickness of vertical black lines. Colour fringes appear over the white spaces between the lines, making it also work as an installation piece.
