Homeland https://youtu.be/SmSOYWlo_vc VIDEO (Flashing images) Homeland is a long piece that is best seen by skimming through it or shuttling back and forth across it. It's about 50 minutes long. It's about the left in America. It's about America. It's about the repetition and brutality of America. It's about a lack of breathing room. It is a piece which I've been working on in the past several pieces. The past several pieces should be ignored. This piece supersedes all of them. This piece brings everything together. There are seven layers to this piece. The layers intersect and interact. I want to thank so many people who have helped with this. I particularly want to thank Johannes Birringer who generously allowed me to use the photographs from a 1990s protest at the University of Texas at Dallas. They play a large role in this. I want to thank people associated with New Jersey Institute of Technology. They also have contributed to this. I have been thinking recently of Kristeva and Irigaray. I've been thinking of Heiner Muller. I've been thinking of giant Jonathan Swift. Mostly I've been thinking of earthquake and Ukraine, wars and pollution, desertification and Godard, collocations and Agnes Varda, on and on and on. Mostly I've been thinking of nothing, just this production, bits and pieces, a production based on scanning and surveying, catastrophe theory and the catastrophic. Please scan through this; some of it might make sense to you. Dedicated to Azure Carter, who has seen me through it. - Alan Sondheim, finished 3/19/23 ___ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
