Doctor—Doctor
Initiated as an exploration of cyborg speech patterns in early television and film, this text utilises a destroyed and reconstructed 1967 episode of the British sci-fi television series Doctor Who as a point of focus and unravelling, pulling out threads of personal, political, and poetic resonance across modes of reconstruction, memory, and loss.
Moving between the decomposed form of the recovered episode and decomposing rhythms of speech, it attends to moments of disjunction and dissonance between image and sound, archive and absence, machine and body, utterance and breath. Through reflections on censorship, the ethics of repair, and the dual meaning of ‘doctoring’ as both healing and falsification, the text lingers in the discomfort of the gap.
