Juxtaposition
...
A speaker (Danny Choo) stands on a stage with a screen-shot of himself (with friends) behind him. Reflexive juxtaposition?
Such a screen-shot allows us to compare similarities and contrast differences between the speaker and his image behind. Then and now. Past and present. Formal and informal. Work and play. Serious and fun.
Since the screen-shot appears on a big screen above the speaker in a lecture hall, the up-shot further intensifies the image.

Overheard in Kochi:
"Oh, congratulations on your promotion!"
"Aw, it's juxtaposition."
"Hey, don't be such a denying kneejerk!"
"Sorry, it's an uncontrollable reflexive mine."
"Then I guess your being single lens a certain cachet."
Overheard @ Cannes:
"Sorry to hear the judging all turned to custard for you."
"It happens. Just the way the cookie crumbles."
"Yeah. No use crying…"
"…over spilt milk? No. Right. Gotta get on with my life. Got other fish to fry."
"Good for you. Next year, another bite at the cherry huh?"
"You betcha, Betchen. Rely on it."
Documentarist to mentalist:
"Wasn't that a great interview?"
"I can't imagine what you're thinking! That was rambling, disconnected, halting."
"All the better for the editor. You see, we manufacture flow, and create the appearance of slick spontaneity. Just a few mouse clicks, and Bob's your uncle."
"How did you know about my uncle Bob? I'm supposed to be the mentalist."
"Oh, but I'm a documentalist, you see."
Mental documentarian reassuring Mental Mapper
"The footage is absolutely awesome. There are moments of sublime succinctness. This is going to be THE definitive doc of the decade."
"I still worry that we may be savaged by the critics."
"Relax, the lines will be edited to call up a film noir narrativo and the subtext will unleash a barrage of adulation from the likes of the Addison De Witts."
