  • The Injury of One (2002) 45 mins. Travis Wilkinson

3'-7''-77 represents the Montana Grave. The BUTTE didactic serves the piece in an opposition as the songs for the BUTTE miners are played. Words appear linearly as hearing someone else's and not just the author's. Music complicates things while the film is searching. This film evokes a sense that someone is discovering history along the way. The songs contain cognitive space in order to place the audience into the hardships. The voice of the man has a context because of its stern way and taking a stand. The voice has idiosyncrosity while subjective and personal. The images aren't any less important than the voice. Time and space use the entire screen. This film is able to say what is important unlike an essay that cannot point out which paragraph is significant. The viewer is definitely aware of absence and presence when part or entire screen in used in this film.
