TALKER


14min.

    Talker is a "video-book", a reworking of an unpublished artist's book (with Andrew Bick). The public voice of Talker champions "truth" and is always praying for those he meets. His refrain ("You have left the asylum and are waiting for a taxi to take you to paradise") is a gambit to the losers of the world. Talker is a proselytiser, a defender of the faith. But he keeps a private journal (Diary of a Network Methodist) in which he articulates a deep scepticism, exposes lost love and his history in the asylum. There are (too) many words/images in the book. The video (intercut with scenes from Dreyer's Day of Wrath) attempts a fugue from both word and image, as if to escape from memory while it oscillates between stillness & movement, language & silence, love & truth. 2003 UK technolog art UK texts, editing, production, camera, sound: Gad Hollander
