Probably one of the best independent documentaries about William Burroughs as a person; his relationships, obsessions...
UntitledThe video shows two men playing chess; Radovan Karadzic and Radco Mladic, the psychiatrist and the general. Silence is interrupted by a voice with a heavy accent. Karadzic is a psychiatrist, a poet and the former Bosnian Serb leader. Mladic is a general and the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army. The two men together are accused of having designed and ordered most of the atrocities that took place in Bosnia. The video juxtaposes classic war strategy, greed and vanity with consequences in reality by suggesting horror through denial.
Annotations for a Work in Progress... In November 1994 I traveled from New York to Barcelona hoping to retain support film in what remained of the original Chinatown. One could say that at the time of my arrival in the neighborhood, this started to disappear. Currently it is being demolished and transformed following a massive urban redevelopment plan.

Untitled"Electrophase' is a video-graphic expansion of Mark Bain's 'machine environment' installation 'Interphase'. Bain's computer-manipulated images of this mechanical sculpture - which, like the tape, comes across as the creation of a contemporary and lyrical constructivist - are combined with differing, machine-like sounds. The pulsating image is dynamic, and constantly changing in colour and tempo. The sound, which appears to have been injected directly into the electronic, abstracted images, both influences and directs the image, and vice-versa. Ultimately this gives rise to a form of synthesis whereby the seperate elements fuse together into a surprising and alternative single entity, which reaches, and intrigues, our senses as 'Electrophase', a new 'synthetic …
Untitled“The following is a true fact about American feminism: Courtney Love’s mother was Katherine Power’s therapist. GOOD SISTER/BAD SISTER is about fugitivism. Therapy. Rock and roll. FBI harassment of lesbians. The legacy and memory of radical feminism. Lipstick. Violence. Surrender. Bank-robbing. Generational politics. History. Through documentary technique, such as talking-head interviews and dramatic re-creations, Johnson connects notorious baby-doll grunge rocker Courtney Love with Katherine Power, a sixties activist and fugitive of the FBI for 23 years. Through the link of Linda Carroll, who is coincidentally both Love’s estranged mother and Power’s therapist, Johnson creates a multi-layered dialogue between the women that exemplifies and comments on female transgression within the public arena. When feminism is still the dirty F word of the Nineties, how do women fight American disorder without just being bad girls in a male-defined world' [...] Just because the sixties was a mind fuck, does it mean that we can never ask Utopian questions again?” – Berlin Film Festival 1997
