Mimicking the skater, the music works up terrific pace and speed…
‘The river has frozen over…’/‘I'm speeding past trees…’ - the skater cinematically glides across the dangerous landscape… Time/sensory distortion…
‘It’s wonderful…’ - Intense… Irresistible… Exhilarating…
(‘Everywhere, so white...’ - coke…?)
‘Not a soul on the ice…’ - Soulless? Her soul destroyed? Frozen?
‘Only me…’ - She is the only one venturing out… Like she can’t judge the conditions? reckless? chaotic? out of control? … Vulnerable… Alone against the elements… Leaving cares behind… Leaving… THE DIRECTOR'S CUT…
‘…Little lines in the ice,/Cutting out little lines,/in the ice,/splitting, splitting sound,/Silver heels spitting, spitting snow…’ - slo-mo trouble… the internal, the external, the natural narrative…
‘There's something… Under… Moving… Trying… "It's me"…’ - struggling emotional mess…
Human passion, human recklessness, human difficulty, human need…
Touching the Void…
