Expert Witness (from Letters to Those Concerned 2023) by Patrick Halm

One in an ongoing series of short poetic studies; made from or moving towards the interrelationship and play of image and text. Both are presented in tandem and uniquely, and concerned with the act and effect of memory-resonance on visual perception, imagination formed from language and relationships that generate new creation. The series explores the idea of a film that can never be completely "seen" due to the tension created between the act reading, looking, and knowing.
