              Welcome to the city of Detroit, 'the Murder Capital of the USA', where the grass is growing over the parking lots and the houses are abandoned. Here, a new life is slowly beginning to take form and take over the deserted city. But even if the writing on the wall has a different and more apocalyptic meaning, there is no reason to panic. 'Detroit Wild City' looks with the wandering gaze and cool, philosophical distance of the outsider at the changes in urban landscapes in a historical moment when a 'post-' is written before 'utopias', 'humanity' and 'dollar capitalism'. Invisible disasters have ruined the city, and all that is left are traces in the form of radio adverts about debt relief, flocks of stray dogs, and a mysterious pile of burned New Age books. But on the fringes of it all, people have started to reorganise themselves in autonomous societies, where settlers are growing vegetables and still believe in the future - just not as an extension of the present.

              This video was made using images recorded from TV between 2001 and 2004. Many were collected during a workshop that invited participants to record their ?zapping? with access to every channel in the world. One of the prophet Mohammed's Hadiths provides the narrative thread: "The first look at a woman is for you, the second is for the devil and the third is a crime". Our looks are displaced towards televised images and show us how the repetition and impoverishment of images in our culture place us in the role of voyeur. The television creates an ambiguous situation and insidiously make us enjoy, in a way that is almost erotic, these catastrophic but strangely beautiful images.

              The Infernal Noise Brigade

              The second, ¡Tchkung! Vs. The State, is a one hour tribute to the relationship between a band and their local police and fire departments in the mid-90's. Recommended more for the serious ¡Tchkung! fan than for the casual viewer, it features home movie style depictions of performances, backstage preparation, police intervention, and street chaos.
