In Still Life, Fitzgerald and Sanborn experiment with nonlinear narrative in mini-dramas of male/female sexual politics, using innovative strategies to edit music, sound, image and text in a kinetic interplay of language, visuals and structure. Static is a dynamic boy-meets-girl narrative that uses a stuttering sound overlay of spoken text. Don't Ask is a pithy anecdote of marital resentment, using highly manipulated editing. Layering text and sound, Episode is a narrative of a young couple's power struggle. Employing single-frame edits from broadcast television, the artists construct a rapid-fire media barrage of sound and image in Black & White.
