Cash Crop (2012)

Directed by Madison Brookshire

· 12m

A simple score: when the loop is one frame long, it plays only once; when it is two frames long, it plays twice; three frames, three times; and so on. Space compresses but time stretches under this operation and instead of going nowhere, the repetition suggests infinity. As Dziga Vertov once said, there is time inside of time. Merle Haggard was in the audience when Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins played this song, Folsom Prison Blues, at San Quentin. Carl Perkins' locomotive guitar solo gets caught up in the gears of this video and stretches like a penny on a rail under the weight of a passing train.
