In Tina Turning, performed by the artist, Tina Girouard, her head is center frame while she spins around and around. The film ends when she loses balance and falls out of the frame. According to Serra: “The movement both carries physiognomic properties of the face under stress, and a moderate rate of speed is important in making the subject perceptually clear. A truly static object cannot be seen at all for more than a fraction of a second.”
