Still Mornings

the words from a slow morning, kept after the video

A record of slow mornings. Every entry started as a thirty-second video; this is where the words stay, the hook, the lines that were read over it, and a frame from the morning it came out of.

• 13 entries are written and not out. They sit in the index in their own ink and carry no date, because the date an entry gets is the morning it goes out.
• The figure in a row’s light column is measured off that morning’s own frame, on a 0 to 255 scale. Across the archive it runs 39.4 to 217. The line under it is how far the light moves across the entry’s whole take: 0.4 to 119.7, with quartiles at 5.6, 30.1 and 62.7.
• An entry’s whole take is on its own page, printed on one sheet with the frame it leads on ringed. These two are what the two ends of that range look like.
