What are You Looking At, or Second Glances (073) uses repetition to examine movement along a path in Prospect Park. The video follows a pattern: it plays for two seconds, then jumps back one second, plays for two seconds, then jumps back one second. As such, each part of the video is seen twice but book-ended by different sequences each time.
The map is a counterpoint to a previous map, Stutter Cutting (067), which uses a smaller time interval for cutting. In seeing action extend over one and two seconds, the interruption is much more identifiable. But in having the sequences repeat, there’s anticipation as to whether or not the movement will continue or be broken.
