Slow Night is built around a simple concept, one that is similar to the primary idea behind Pieces–namely, that human beings can be maddeningly accepting of discomfort (often to the point of outright pain), even when a simple solution is readily available to them.

Synopsis:
A man is alone in his apartment, vegetating in front of his computer. His phone begins to ring. Rather than answer it, the man allows it to continue ringing as he stares at his monitor, flips through a magazine, urinates, and eats a carrot.

Music:
Hounds

“I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see. ”
--Dziga Vertov
