Am I Calling you at a Bad Time

Am I Calling you at a Bad Time

X is growing up in the 1990s, she makes prank calls as a child and gets her first job in telephone sales as a teenager. Office smells, heavy breathers, and meaningless greetings follow her from one workplace to another. Through archival material and amateur video footage, the narrative reflects X’s actions as a faceless subject playing with her voice as a commercialised asset. Am I Calling you at a Bad Time? is an experimental fictional story based on recollections of true events.
