Like many people in the USA and elsewhere, I remained fixed on my television screen during the events of Sept 11th, 2001. After hours of watching non-stop coverage of the tragedy, I decided to record what I couldn't process. Years later, I began to work with my recordings as a way of remembrance and reflection, both personal and societal. My result is a meditation on the broadcast coverage of 9/11, the spectacle of tragedy, and the simulation of history. Formal interventions and artificial replay enhance the already disrupted structure of TV journalism, as emotion overwhelms the distance of analysis.
