DISSOLUTION! DISSOLUTION! RESOLUTION! THIS IS A DISSOLUTION! THIS IS A CALL TO INACTION! ACTION!
WE WERE STUDIO FOR PROPOSITIONAL CINEMA. WE WERE FOR THE DISRUPTION OF LANGUAGE. WE WERE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF LANGUAGE.
OUR LANGUAGE WAS NOT POLEMICAL, OUR LANGUAGE WAS CAUTIONARY.
IN A FIELD WHERE DEVIATIONS WEREN’T TOLERATED IT WAS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE MUTATIONS.
MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE? THIS IS A DISSOLUTION!
WE WERE FOR PRODUCTION AND THE NEGATION OF PRODUCTION. WE WERE FOR DISTRIBUTION AND THE NEGATION OF DISTRIBUTION. WE WERE FOR RECEPTION AND THE NEGATION OF RECEPTION.
YOU DID NOT WANT US BUT WE WERE ALREADY INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
WE WERE A PARASITE ON THE INSTITUTION OF CINEMA, AN INSTITUTION OF PARASITES. WE SUCKED OUT THE LIFE BECAUSE WE LOVED LIFE.
WE BELIEVED THAT IMAGES WERE INTENDED TO SERVE AS MODELS FOR ACTIONS. WE DIDN’T ASK “WHAT IS CINEMA?” BECAUSE ---- ATTENTION PLEASE! EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! THIS IS A DISSOLUTION AND WE WILL NOT REPEAT OURSELVES!
WE DIDN’T ASK “WHAT IS CINEMA?” BECAUSE WE BELIEVED IT WAS THE WRONG QUESTION. THE VOCABULARY THAT WE HAD INHERITED WAS IMPRECISE AND THE OLD DEFINITIONS WERE CONSTANTLY SHIFTING.
WE DID NOT WANT TO PROPOSE NEW OR MORE ACCURATE TERMS. WE THRIVED IN THE AMBIGUITY OF THEIR LANGUAGE BECAUSE IT WAS A SPACE OF FREEDOM.
IT WAS NOT OUR JOB TO DEFINE OUR ACTIVITIES. IT WAS OUR JOB TO ACTIVATE OUR IDEALS.
WE INVITED YOU TO ATTEMPT TO DEFINE AND EXPLAIN US. YOUR IMPULSE TOWARDS EXPLANATION WAS THE DISTRACTED STATE THAT ALLOWED US TO ACT.
WE WERE ON THE BRINK OF THE ABYSS!
WE BELIEVED THAT THE DAYS WERE NUMBERED FOR NON-CONTRIBUTIONAL CULTURAL PRODUCTION. REDUNDANT STATEMENTS PROPOSE NOTHING. WE REJECTED REDUNDANCY AND THEREFORE REJECTED EXPECTATIONS.
WE WERE NOT INTERESTED IN TELLING STORIES, WE WERE INTERESTED IN TELLING LIES.
OUR FICTIONS FUNCTIONED AGAINST THE PROGRAMME. WE RESERVED THE RIGHT TO NOT REVEAL WHERE THEY ENDED AND BEGAN.
OUR NARRATIVES WERE BOUNDLESS AND THEY HAD NO FORM. THEY WERE HOMELESS AND NOMADIC AND TRANSLUCENT AND ATEMPORAL.
WE TOO WERE HOMELESS. WE MOVED THROUGH THE WORLD LIKE A VIRUS. WE WERE EVERYWHERE AND WE CAME FOR YOU.
OUR ONLY HOME WAS OUR CULTURE AND OUR ONLY NATIONHOOD WAS THE STATE OF BEWILDERMENT.
THE ONLY THING WE WERE CERTAIN OF WAS TIME. TIME IS THE MATERIAL OF ALL DISCOURSE.
DISSOLUTION TODAY. DISSOLUTION TOMORROW. STUDIO FOR PROPOSITIONAL CINEMA IS CLOSED.
BUT WE WILL STILL BE PLAYING HERE EVERY DAY UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD.
CUT!
