frances neil (2018) cyranoid recording, facsimile admin and portfolio
on Frances Neil's 21st birthday she was exhibited as a faulty copy of herself.
the portfolio was reproduced in a day, as were the clearly reproduced documents.
after extensive interviews about what we each remembered, the misremembered parts were re-recorded using cyranoid techniques with two non actors. The discussion was put sightly out of synch, resulting in a subtly stilted and false testimony.
