Sound in Sync (1984) consists of two ten-minute takes; Aoki films people on Michigan Avenue but soon pans up into the blue. The long middle portion of each take consists of almost imperceptible camera movements across the sky while the sound track continues to record people talking on the street, presumably in perfect sync with the image. The film refocuses our attention from what we’re most accustomed to looking at to a world almost of pure color.
