In Gaylie Runciman's real-time film of dried peas submerged in water, waiting, whether in real time or in the imagination is crucial. Internal genesis is contained for most of the films by the edge of the glass, tin or muslin; but eventually, and perhaps even in the viewer's absence, the point of explosive action is reached. The matter breaks through or bursts open the container and the process becomes visible.
