Script (3) Winter studio is the third in the Script series, showing the artist making words. The words are relevant to the filmed activity or make reference to filmic terms. The Script series is an attempt by the artist to explore the textuality of the written word while considering issues pertaining to film's specificity. Shot where the artist works, they take the form of filmic exercises of studio activity.

In Script (3) Winter studio the artist sits in her studio and writes in close-up, slow-motion the words 'temps mort'. The 'temps mort' shot defines and lingers upon post narrative cinematic space; it rests upon a scene after the main action has finished or has moved on. What had previously been a setting for the character suddenly becomes the protagonist itself as the scene cuts to a prolonged view from the artist's window of a winter scene.

In the Script series we witness the making, reading or writing of words, which are relevant to the operation of each particular short film. There are ten films in the planned series. The sequence includes ‘twinkle’, ‘brilliant’, ‘temps mort’, ‘fin’, ‘actuality’, ‘virtual’, ‘a fold in time’, ‘loop’, ‘déjà vu’ and ‘cut'. The series explores the 'magic' of cinema while pondering the nature of its medium and history.
