More Info

Hard edged, uniform edits guide us through a private and nocturnal LA landscape and are set to a pulsating noise score. A flashing text interrupts the sequence, channelling psychological transmissions from two central characters whose divergent philosophies ultimately merge into one nihilistic polemic. The first is the estranged European émigré adrift in LA, railing against the culture machine’s habituation of nature and espousing a form of ideal space that can only be achieved through self-enforced seclusion. The second is the voice of the new world order, purporting to rolex deepsea replica embody nature as self-empowerment. Both characters ultimately descend into a form of psychosis where their radical individualism leads either to dark suicidal horror or pure physical violence.
