“…[the Captioned series]…intervenes upon familiar, historically uncaptioned filmic artefacts. But instead of supplying the caption tracks without which these works were made and without which they are still being screened, the artist writes into that space instead. Her writing work inserts itself in a gap that ought not to be – in part, to make the case for what ought already to be there. In the Captioned series, existing films are inscribed by the artist with something equivalent (in length, purpose and complexity) to an essay, but received as a faux real-time drip-feed of text that is read from the screen.” [From sarah hayden’s A cognitive listening, 2023]
