Through a sequence of possibly intertwined events, Turner creates a challenging portrait of our modern age, drawing solely on the actions of people rather than their appearance - whether advertising executives or soldiers, tailors or doctors - they fall in love, have children, fight in wars, and flee their homes. In "8 X 10" there are no names, no racial or ethnic characteristics, and only a vague sense of time. Turner's characters, familiar yet implacable, are both no one and everyone.
