Turner made an essay film travelling across Russia – Moscow to Irkutsk, Siberia – filming every day on the train journey, reenacting the same journey she took 20 years earlier. The use of memory is subjected to a formal methodological constraint where she is not allowed – by collaborator Matthew X – to review or make comments on her filmed material until the next day. This separation of the time of capture from the time of reflection of the filmed material feels similar to shooting then reviewing Super 8 film later.
