Within the confusion of the language which we use to construct the narratives and traditions we base our beliefs on, myth as well as fact becomes part of the narrative.
The expression “Play it again Sam” comes from the film “Casablanca” featuring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, but Bergman never said the words ‘play it again Sam’, she said ‘play it Sam, play it’, but it is the myth which has become the reality and is used by even those who are aware of this inaccuracy.
The scattered piano keys suggest it is impossible to ‘play it again’, for anything to be played again the keys need to be in order, this points to the paradox in deconstruction as it needs to used the language it deconstructs with all its vagaries to pass on its ideology. The constant tick of the metronome makes one aware of the passage of time passing as the piece is viewed.
