Aridity Enclosure 1

Locked away but not away; somewhere nearby but unreachable, a periphery so notfaroff it's always in sight.

No(thing) Staring Back

On the Clickity-clack Express it's clear I'm always under duress, unless I forget.

We Could All Do With a Little Back & Forth As Far As It Concerns the To & Fro of Everywhere Each of Us Go

(Some of us) Still run down the same [mental&emotional] streets we revered/reproached/replaced as children.

What Was It Supposed to Be Like?

Rather pointless, rather stilted, fetid; not what we want us going after.

Grand Entrance to the World of the Dead

Radical recurrences & rancorous requests raze my daze.

Firing Flares @ Unnoticed Glares

Shadows frighten what one oughtn't be gripping (that thing before/hind you).

The Twenty-One Lives of Billy The Kid

Shot in the abandoned buildings of Gary, Indiana and the cornfields of Western Illinois, The Twenty-One Lives of Billy the Kid presents a fractured historical narrative without any real protagonist, one in which the titular character goes mostly unseen - Billy the Kid as the always-off-screen assailant, as a ghost’s laugh, as a shadow on the road.

Devil Come to Hell and Stay Where You Belong

From a small cabin in the mountains of New York, Nina Breeder and Massimilian Breeder begin a journey across the United States.

A contemplation of nature and time along a raw journey in the American landscape.

Quick Billy

A psychedelic montage of home movie footage gives way to a silent western story.

Calangros: Um faroeste sobre o terceiro mundo

Crash!

Short film produced by the BBC about JG Ballard's Crash. “The film was a product of the most experimental, darkest phase of Ballard’s career. It was an era of psychological blowback from the sudden, shocking death of his wife in 1964, an era that had produced the cut-up ‘condensed novels’ of Atrocity plus a series of strange collages and ‘advertisers’ announcements. After Freud’s exploration within the psyche it is now the outer world of reality which must be quantified and eroticised. Later there were further literary experiments, concrete poems and ‘impressionistic’ film reviews, and an aborted multimedia theatrical play based around car crashes. After that came an actual gallery exhibition of crashed cars, replete with strippers and the drunken destruction of the ‘exhibits’ by an enraged audience.” (from: http://aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.blogspot.de/2013/01/short-film-adaptation-of-jg-ballards.html)
