Scenario
The Circle That Remembers
Filed beside the screening
Key art
Twelve plates, and the order of six minutes. The book does not add what the film withheld.
Order
The room, then the gap, then the camera. The circle is not announced. It is already on the floor.
Salt and chalk. The opening in the line is cut, not worn.
The silence
For six seconds the motor is gone, and the picture does not compensate. The rest of the minute is in the book. It is not repeated here.
What is left
A ledger from 1924. The columns are ruled. There are no names. A circle has marked the paper.
The picture is The Circle That Remembers. This page is the writing beside it.
