"When asked, 'What is the relation between sound and image in your work?' Dean answered, 'My interest resides in this gap between the sound and the image. I require sound to have its own autonomy.' Thus, in opposition to an approach to cinema in which the viewer experiences a sense of identification with the spectacle, Dean creates a mode of apprehension in which the observer feels at odds with what she sees. (.) The slightly disjointed relationship between the sound and image, compounded by the clearly physical presence of the projector creates caesurae, which force the beholder to return to real-time, lived bodily experience rather than that of the cinematic."
