Voice-over technique in cinema and video embodies the narrator’s power over the image and what it stands for. The voice-over parallels the image, endorses it. Traditional voice-overs are embedded; they represent an authority. Disembodied Voices combines four videos based on inter-textual procedures. Here, voice-over is used in a rather detached, idiosyncratic manner taking full advantage of the poetic irony between language and image, sight and sound.
