Let Me Count the Ways is an ongoing serial about violent terror and its aftermath. In episodes Minus 10, 9, 8, and 7, personal reminiscence is mixed with archive and new footage in an exploration of the interior of fear. From footage of the artist’s father on the way to Hiroshima, through references to 9/11, the phenomenology of horror and the echo of its rupture are presented with an intensity that moves the viewer from history to the present and beyond.
