Accelerated Intimacy considers questions of site, memory and staging in relation to time. A parallel to her previous methods of compositing and reconstructing documented images, Choo re-presents fragments through time, in the format of an immersive installation. Through appropriating film scripts, the artist decontextualized conversational lines and significant quotes, in turn reconstructing a potential narrative surrounding each character. All 5 subjects, shot in various hotel rooms, are given the liberty to interpret parts of film scripts and re-enact specific roles within a set. The film begins with an obscured view of her characters and ends with them turning back and looking towards viewers upon hearing the doorbell.
