The cross-temporal fugue is an exploration of the simultaneity of different time regimes and individual ways of dealing with them. The narrator investigates perceptions of time in different places. For example, that of a child or people suffering from dementia. In the process, she accidentally encounters a doctoral candidate who is on the trail of Maya Deren's film project on Haitian voodoo rituals in the 1940s. From the various strands emerge questions about personal times that diverge from the demands of performance-oriented society.
The film essay is part of the PhD project of the same name, developed in the framework of the PhD cooperation between the Kunstuniversity Linz and the Zurich University of the Arts.
