Resumé

Kort efter sidder jeg med et animeret videoklip. Jeg nærstuderer startbilledet, før jeg starter det. Den karakteristiske håndbevægelse er skåret væk, for der er zoomet helt ind på hendes ansigt, og smilet er blevet et andet. Hendes hoved er drejet i en anden retning end på det oprindelige foto. Håret ligner sig selv, men der er noget subtilt forandret over hendes ansigtsudtryk. Noget måske for andre umærkeligt. Som om der i oversættelsen er sket noget med dybden i billedet. De kunstige kinders rynker ligner overfladiske streger mere end tredimensionelle fordybninger i huden. Og hovedet er mere fladt end rundt.
