Housewife Jimmy Dade stays with her violent husband, Frankie, even after his abuse leads to the loss of her hearing. When his car is found with an unidentifiable dead body inside, police officers John Box and Andrew Ramsey suspect Jimmy has killed him. But, after discovering her bank account has been emptied, Jimmy fears that Frankie is still alive, and she goes on the run -- with the police in pursuit.

Blow Debris similarly suggests narrative but prefers to offer it in the form of a drifting, almost aimless experience; the piece enacts a passage or journey as we follow a group of nude wanderers in a desert landscape. As with Electric Earth, what could be postmodern anomie becomes celebratory drifting. Aitken spurns a romantic nostalgia for a pristine past and its untrammeled landscapes in favor of the stories suggested by the discarded remnants and detritus that litter the expanse of the Mojave Desert. He also fetishizes the feeling of the desert. Even in the cool, dark space of the gallery rooms housing the huge projections, you sense the lassitude of the characters and time seems to slow down. And then things explode, time reverses, and you are compelled to walk around some more, from dislocation to relocation and back again.

1994 yılında ER yayına başladığında televizyon tarihinin geri dönülmez evrelerinden biri de başladı. Gösterime girdiği ilk sezon ABD’de tüm reytingleri alt üst eden dizi daha önceki hastane dizilerinin başaramadığını başararak türe yepyeni bir atılım getirdi. Chicago’da bir hastanenin acil servisini her yönüyle ekrana taşıyan ER’ın hikayeleri öncelikle doktorlar, hemşireler, tıp öğrencileri ve diğer hastane personeli üzerine yoğunlaşıyor. İkincil öykü çıkış noktası ise hastaların yaşadığı problemler.
