This is the third variation of the on-going 16mm film projector performance piece, "Six Seventy-Two Variations," for which I produce images and sound as a live performance. I use a wood carving knife to scratch off the photographic emulsion of the looped film as a live performance. Scratched patterns, which would be mostly horizontal lines, will appear as an abstract animation on the screen and produce noises, as the area of the filmstrip reserved for the optical soundtrack will be also scratched. Due to the distance between the gate of the projector and the position of the photocell to read the visual information for sound, the noise from a scratched pattern will be produced about a second later after it appears on the screen.

Night after night, two travellers cross paths at a university library. The library's symmetry, rhythms and recurrences form a fantastic geography for their stories and adventures. —Audrey Lam

"As a love story between bashful student workers at a university library, Lam’s virtuosic script creates levity where unwieldy notions of the sublime have long burdened academic language. In moments as quick as the soft lilt in the narrator’s voice when she puns on the school as a “universe-city,” or a captivating sequence where the spritely protagonist, Umi, climbs through part of a shelf that happens to have empty space between books, the two students are shown moving across the dusty, carpeted library as if it were a thrilling metropolis or a bewildering planet. Risk in reaching toward another person amongst heaps of books and words joins an excitement for the unknowns of a relationship." —Lauren Lee
