Description: Video, 4:45 minnFirst part of the trilogynSplitscreen projectionnnCity Language I is a single-channel projection showing four segments of equal size. First we see an arm holding a flute out of a moving car. The airstream animates the instrument in the true sense of the word; not human breath but the movement of the object itself through space breathes life into it. The image focuses on the instrument and a blurred landscape in the background appears to be painted by the sound of the instrument.
