Like most visionaries, William Burroughs takes his inner war outside the walls, to fight against the evil spirits of power and control that roam the human race. How do these "alien spirits" get us to want always more, better, newer, disregarding the consequences? For Burroughs, it´s simple: we are the junky and the pusher, locked in a deadly embrace of desire.

The sheaves of wheat hide the thorns of the jujube... drops of blood are sown in the dust
the woman's belly enters full moon... announcing a still-distant October
the harvest is a time of Remembrance, of gratitude.
An unusual re-visitation of William Burroughs' text.
UntitledThe result of over five years of Super 8 and 16mm filming on New York City streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative approaches into a complex meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled with obsessive lists of places, objects, and incidents. These lists serve as the key to a hidden city.
Untitled"The question I'm asked most often (by people who haven't seen the work) is, 'What is it about?' -a question I am never able to answer. The series has no central theme and is, I hope, quite heterogeneous. As a whole, though, I can say it is monologue-based, held together by the sound of my voice. Perhaps the prototypical video would have two parts. First, a spoken monologue over a loop of appropriated footage, which promises to reveal something, followed by a 'something' which isn't quite what was promised, but somehow obtusely, perhaps humorously, related. The whole series is five hours long and meant to be approached like a collection of prose poems or very short stories: open it up anywhere and begin reading, skip what doesn't catch your attention, re-read whatever does. So watching it with a remote control is a good idea". (Steve Reinke)
