Time Kills is a subverted still life that combines sound and performance for the camera. Touching on themes of failure, repetition, violence, humor, fragility, and power, the video invites critical reflection on murky histories, the seduction of familiarity,  and the radical possibility of understanding something recognizable in a new way.

Sound: 
Till the Teeth (Sandesh Nagaraj and Jonathan Rodriguez) and Whitney Lynn


Performers: Whitney Lynn, Till the Teeth, Barry Olusegun-Noble Despenza, Tiffany-Ashton Gatsby, Swaleha Masude, and Sarah Torres
