16/Spoon - Transference
The photograph you see above is William Eggleston’s Untitled from Sumner, Miss 1969, c. 1972. Study it. Look closely. All is still, and all is quiet, and yet, you hear it (A deep sigh). And yet, you see it (The shrug of the shoulders before the slouch). And yet, you feel it (The inner workings of communications between a boy and his girl (s)) Here. There. In the room. Alone in a chair. Together in a space. In the act of observing. Going through the motions, eyes darting where they may, knowing your place. Still, then fidgety. Fidgety, then calm. Alone, then acknowledged. Aware, then silent. Wash, rinse, repeat. Again, and again, and again... With Transference, Spoon walk us through the various wants, needs, trials, and concerns of adults trying to make sense of each other while simultaneously trying to make sense of the self and the living of this life here, there, in the room. Together in a space, in the act of observing. Going through the motions, listening. Still, then fidgety. Fidgety, then calm. Tightly wound, yet ready to burst at the seams. Washed, rinsed, and repeated. Again, and again, and again.
