Lynne lays bare her film practice. In Choke, Chew, Savor, and Spit: The Messy Practice
of Cinema, she examines the making of a visceral cinema – one that does not know
where it is going until it arrives, finds meaning in mistakes, and sets no boundaries
between the real and the imagined. Through it all, she remains aware of the implicit
connection between her body, the bodies of those she photographs, the camera, and
the materiality of film itself.
