"The Zapatista movement showed us what mirrors and masks are for. Mirrors are for leaving behind the trick mirrors that power had placed in order to deceive or self-deceive, and to offer the naked reality of social situations just as they are. The mask, curiously, is for being seen. Until this movement put masks on the indigenous people, they weren't seen - they were invisible and exploited. When they put masks on, they were seen and they helped reveal that economic, political and cultural power also wore it's own masks". Manuel Vázquez Montalbán

UntitledJoin Terence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, and Ralph Abraham as they trialogue on the relationship between chaos, creativity and the imagination. "The flutter of the the moth's wing can trigger the hurricane. This is not a poetic statement. This is the fact of the matter within this kind of description of nature. In other words, very small changes create cascades into where whole states shift and are perturbed." - Terence McKenna
UntitledMeshes of the Afternoon is one of the most influential works in American experimental cinema. A non-narrative work, it has been identified as a key example of the "trance film," in which a protagonist appears in a dreamlike state, and where the camera conveys his or her subjective focus. The central figure in Meshes of the Afternoon, played by Deren, is attuned to her unconscious mind and caught in a web of dream events that spill over into reality. Symbolic objects, such as a key and a knife, recur throughout the film; events are open-ended and interrupted. Deren explained that she wanted "to put on film the feeling which a human being experiences about an incident, rather than to record the incident accurately." MoMA The Collection
Video manual based on a cookbook written by Mira Vu?eti?. It is based on a four recipes and for each of them while I was cooking I made animation. Her cookbook is the one on which all-Croatian mothers and grannies based their kitchen. What is interesting is that there is no cooking or backing time written, and if you don't have basic knowledge about cooking it won't help.
The reality of this scam resists representation, which is why we are unsuccessful in our attempts to align words and images with the original meaning of things.
