The Subtitle Drift series are short pieces of creative fiction that subtitle recordings of walks. They were inspired by the intermedial status of text in subtitled foreign language films. You are supposed to read such text without integrating it into the visual plain of the film or the sound of the characters speaking. My pieces resond to this by directly subtitiling the non-language sound in recordings and using language to build an optic plane, rather than including documentary footage of the walks.
