A day of writing, unedited
Twenty-two minutes of an ordinary Tuesday, including the eleven where nothing happens.

I set a camera on a shelf and left it running for a working day, then cut out only the parts where I left the room. What is left is mostly a person sitting still.
What is in it
- 00:00 Sitting down, and eleven minutes of nothing.
- 04:30 The first sentence, deleted twice.
- 11:50 A walk, which is where the paragraph got fixed.
- 18:20 The end of the day, and what actually survived.
Made with
- A single fixed camera, no operator
- One 35mm lens
- A lapel microphone I forgot about
Nobody has ever asked me for a shorter version of this one, which I choose to find encouraging.
