Fractured scenes with multiple images and subtitles appear on war rugs, just as they do on the 24/7 television news broadcasts that show the past and the present, the near and the far, the real and the imaginary all jumbled together. (Presenting fourteen different things simultaneously in a single visual field is also the approach of Canadian broadcasters like CP24. The technique is used worldwide. )
