les enfants terribles
everyone knows a dashing, mysterious and becaped crossdressing female has a certain allure
le mepris
le mepris
fake review:
the opening scene has a camera, slow, lumbering on rails. i miss the playful camerawork of breathless.
replaced by a sort of blank left to right. the actors move toward and away from the camera, but it never follows them. the
widescreen aspect ratio feels like a big waste, alot of empty space, it never feels intimate. the best moments of le mepris
are when the narrative breaks down. scenes begin looping and it just works. it feels grand. like something really
important is about to happen.
the thing about a camera that moves all around : within the movement there are
unexpected compositions you are able to see for
yourself. le mepris is so composed , there is almost ‘nothing to see here’ besides what they tell you
to.

fake review:
strange. alot of long walks. rohmer finds very little excuse to just have a figure wander paris. with the narrative
stripped away it’s pretty much a poor-guy-down-on-his-luck-wanders-paris-simulator. the films starts off with characters talking and stuff but that
eventually drops off. you see alot of paris though. reminds me of yoshiro tatsumi, minus the edge.
near the beginning, when there are still characters talking, jean luc godard is there, young, wandering the scene.
he sits next to a record player and, peculiarly, replays a certain part of a record several times. never says a word.

i like when girls do screamo. that is why i originally liked glass candy and the shattered theatre. there is something innate and primal about screaming, like yorda from ico. it is outside of communication. words are lost.
“as clear as an unmuddied lake”
the purity of screaming can be misplaced amid the male and female bullshit of everyday life. the style or whatever you want to call it has been co-opted by males and turned aggressive. it is gutteral, literally. screaming. everyone has a gut.
notice the ‘fruits basket’ anime poster in the above image. the screaming shatters an otherwise banal existence. nothing can stand in its way. i wanted to put that energy right in the middle of the gallery.

partially a response/documentation of my senior fine arts show, super banal (for short) is full of self-referential naval gazing and other stupid stuff as well as other stuff i would use later use in other stuff.
‘g.i.s.m.’ at the beginning in a gallery, 3d effects from lo fi sci fi, rachel from laser monster (ha), forest from ‘forest’, errata from the projection i used in the senior fine arts show, and of course footage from the show itself.
the sound was made using electroplankton.
the past couple weeks i’ve been filming projections of my videos in the garage. that is what i call my studio. ‘the garage’. it sounds french, right?
i went out to the garage and played the videos back and filmed them.
projection.
originally, and this was in 2008, i thought super banal (for short) should be two videos on two monitors, but time and circumstance did not allow and i was unable to show it the correct way. (here is the compromised version.)
to further complicate things i actually chose to show it two different ways this time. the first one is a tight crop of the video on my computer screen with garbled natural sound from the monitor. the second version is wide showing the two videos side by side for the first time, with a bottle of pain pills. you might need those.
the key word is ‘iteration’.
