"Now I am yours", 1992

“With the central image of the statue of St. Teresa in Rome, together with glimpses
of colour-saturated flower gardens, the Crucifixcion and Baroque plasterwork,
we listen to the gulping and frenetically clipped voice of the ‘saint’ pouring out
her rapturous lament in “Now I am yours” in which Nina Danino leads us through an
unnervingly authentic ‘extreme state of religious and sexual ecstasy”.
Cordelia Swan, Dreams, Visions and Rapture, Art and Experiment, 37th
International Film Festival, festival catalogue, 1993

“After sketching out some ideas, Nina and I went to the studio and I spent several days ‘performing’ to the film. I processed my voice through my Eventide Harmonizer and two digital delays as I sang and made various mixes of the multi track recordings. The black and white images of a nun running down a corridor in slow motion screaming, her habit trailing behind her as she falls to the ground, and the sound of Nina’s voice, like gunfire as she reads out her own text and from the writings of Saint Teresa of Avila are indelibly printed on my mind”
