Repeats is like a slide show of sorts, which incorporates a soundtrack of answering machine messages accompanied by a stylised sequence appropriating known images from film history. Eleven different narratives characterise the work, each one featuring the person who left the voice message. Comprised entirely of still photography and sound, Repeats takes many of its cues from Chris Marker’s film La Jetée ­– a landmark experimental short made almost entirely from still images.
