Home Stories(1990)

Classical Hollywood, women confined to the bounds of a house/apartment. Opening the door, peeking out from inside; rising/standing up; lying on bed, getting up; opening the bedroom door, turning on the light and off; closing the door, panic/anxiety attack at the back of the door; looking out the window behind the drawn curtains... All the moments stacked back to back to form an image of classical hollywood woman's role, as well as women's circumstance in that not entirely bygone era. The effect -- the heightened empathy (with the women whose desires are restrained) and overwhelming emotional valence -- comes from the multiplication of similar imagery as well as the Sirkian melodramatic score
