dc.description.abstract	This practice driven research paper is an experimental exploration of the embodied cinematic situation in contemporary art. An assemblage of moments, it investigates how moving and mental images travel between the body and situation as an experience of time in contemporary arts practices. Written in the format of a screenplay, it is constructed as a montage loop of information discussing how the body and film measures and records time as experience in encountering performance, film and situations in expanded cinema. Encompassing topics such as the senses, neurofilmology, material engagement, philosophy, chronoception, situated conceptualisation, caves, and the double slit experiment in quantum mechanics, research draws on examples of creative works from contemporary art exhibitions, theatre and film. Discussion refers to production processes of 16mm film, method acting in performance, the genre of meta-films, the construction of situations and how the percept screen of the body auditions representations of experience.	en
