In Full Circle, Hill constructs a dialogue between sound and image, devising analogies between linguistics and electronic phenomena. The screen is divided into three sections: a close-up of hands bending a metal rod into a circle; a full view of this figure; and an electronically generated circular image created by Hill’s vocalization of an “Ah” sound.
