PATRICK LIM: EXIT
The Second Camera As Magnifier Of Truth

Interpretation by Dr. Anuar Nor Arai

EXIT is the pleasure of knowing the facets of truth. Single-mindedness is simply self contention and a self desolated state of mind. Memories of murder by a basic tone of being speculated tend to proliferate its truth without alienating without self display of annoyance and hesitations. Truth is naturally unbound by words. Patrick tries to tell through the face of the lady in the room in her physical advance towards the interrogator the act of sexual violence. Patrick does not proceed to physical sexuality and thus makes to say as a statement in EXIT that sex is in the mind. Everything done is a state of mind whether it is the past or the present. The image of the chair which is not in the shot (Off-frame) when the lady advance towards the interrogator gives a sort of placement and stands as a story for itself. The table, the projector’s window, the cigarettes, and the three walls within the confinements of the small room and within reach of the camera in the camera room, act to discover the relationships of physio-space. EXIT conclusively tells that there is a new revelation in truth through word-image and visual-image.
