Alone at Last_1988

Overview

Student film from Eiki Takahashi. Video art work about American writer William Burroughs. Affected by the cut-up / fold-in method, which involves chopping up existing texts to expose potentially hidden malicious intent in the texts. Using the text and narrative of Burroughs, he tried to reconstruct the language space of Burroughs by using 8mm video, photographs, and re-shooting them.
