KING LOST HIS TOOTH

KING LOST HIS TOOTH

Year:
Media: Video stop motion animation

This video is a subversive homage to the oeuvre of Brion Gysin, who invented along w/ William Burroughs the “cut-up” writing technique; consisting of haphazard assemblage of words and phrases cut from a given paragraph. The first part of the video, follows the classic “cut-up” tactic, as for the second part, a new maneuver was developed and applied by the video artist; shuffling letters within words, creating different sentences where nonsense and new meanings emerge through random or intentional syntax formations. Through out this stop motion animation, all rules of continuity are broken, in order to break the dreamy/trance like state of the viewer, to destroy the possible spectacular side of the video. “Repetition, permutation and demystification” is the name of the game.
