The source material Einarsson has used is closed-captioning text from various films and TV programs ranging in genre from war to science fiction to stand up comedy. These phrases, originally referring to vocal gestures, sounds, background noise, and musical cues on screen, are taken out of their context and placed onto a monochromatic black field. In doing so, Einarsson creates a void where visual imagery is missing, leaving the viewer to engage with nuances of intense emotional and psychological situations experienced through written language. While some are poetic descriptions as if to depict a calm before the storm, others comprise prophetic narratives that serve as a catalyst for notions of paranoia, psychoanalysis, and the unknown.
