Standing on the brink of elimination, the suspense threatening to fracture their composure, contestants wait for the relieving words, while the audience at home is also waiting. The film is part two of the Bearing Witness trilogy which is concerned with how we, as a culture, watch ourselves, especially in moments of great emotional significance. With footage culled from mainstream media and television, the single-channel videos (The Eternal Quarter Inch, Somewhere Only We Know, The Burning Blue) distill moments of sincerity from perhaps insincere sources.This trilogy puts pressure on the infrastructure of distributing images, particularly those that represent what might have normally been private experiences made public for the sake of entertainment.
