Opened
4:40 | 2007

Opened is the follow-up video to Jay Needham’s 13 Buildings. The work is a meditation on several correspondences, one of them through the mail in Europe during the Second World War and another that unfolds over an answering machine during present times. Opened is a semiautobiographical work intended to inter-mix narrative and experimental techniques where the viewer is confronted with a series of image and
sound collages that present possible clues to how the interwoven narratives might relate. As the second edition of the series, Opened operates as a pretext to this series on migration, memory and relations.
