1973,
5 minutes, 16mm film
music by Iannis Xenakis
text by Antonin Artaud
spoken by Robert Blacklock
My graduation film (as opposed to video) at the Royal College of Art
(1974) combined live action and animation from still images and accompanied
a soundtrack by Iannis Xenakis. This was the only time I ever used pre-existing
music.
It metaphorically
explores the external psychic tension between visionaries and society
and the internal psychic tension between creative and metaphysical issues.
