Vanishing Point
The signs and traces of various presences are collected in this tape about memory and disappearance. Species of plants and animals disappear, some are fossilized. Words remain, changing into phantoms of these repeated disappearances.

"Vanishing Point (1993) evokes various endangered species ; the title's vanishing point refers not to the space images come from but rather to the space that swallows them up."
