To produce speech, a set of mechanisms must be brought together. What is the normal articulation for speech? How to produce the sounds that make it up in the correct way? A physiological analysis of the aspects of speech shows us how: the jaw must move in a certain way; the air must be expelled from the lungs in another. Based on the concepts stated in the film "Normal Speech Articulation" (1965), produced by the University of Iowa (USA), we intend to reflect on the way women have been represented, and consequently educated, over the years, both in film and in the media. Largely composed of archival footage, this film intends to make evident, through a montage inspired by Structuralist movements, the violence of this education.

“Time is that which ends. Time is limited time experienced by a sentient creature. Sentient of time, that is – making adjustments to time in terms of what Korzybski calls neuro-muscular intention behaviour with respect to the environment as a whole..." - William S. Burroughs. As a time indexing device, it's capabilities are limited to a finite quantity of space over which it pairs images to time codes. However, a strange element disrupts the circuit, a ghost, a Thing, an imperfect double which overcodes the space that the device travels. So, a time accident specific to this technical apparatus is created where two different temporalities compete for the same space, the electronic limbo where a temporal chimera coalesces.
