The film Waiting for red pigtails is a still film where the text (represented by a voice) is the backbone of the entire film’s structure and content. In the film, we see different girls appear and disappear in the darkness one after the other. We hear a voice describing the girl’s appearance, what she is wearing or doing. …reading a book…wearing a white flower…drinking from a plastic mug…
After a while the text begins to change and change form and content. The same sentences but where the words are thrown around and become new descriptions of the girls who reappear in pictures. The voice takes the viewer behind the surface with a slightly surreal tone. …reading about the devil…drinking herself into a white flower…wearing a white face…Words become images that become a journey with the eye, from the outside to the inside.
