A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
