Product Description

"Sniffing Glue?" Performance piece in a Montreal back alley. In the style of Ginsberg's urban attacks on society Toly A.K. takes jabs at everyone while eating from the ripe fruit which tempted Adam in Eden. A sense of the absurd is evenly distributed throughout. You come away left with a sense that in the midst of gunfire we are iron coated with words. "Ascention" A young couple plays out their daily routine. The man in the relationship takes a hit of Heroin and the viewer is transported into a world of illusion following the sacrifice of the female character insinuated in a scene reminiscent of Hitchcock's rope where the voice of the mail character is heard while his two co-horts ponder upon the waning eclipsing moon. "Paradise Lost" Shot at the Vancouver Aquarium, sea life becomes the metaphor for human engagement in modern day life. Separated through a sheet of glass, the viewer is transported into a world where the sublime beauty of majestic whales portrayed is distorted into abstract forms of video distortions making the viewer not only aware he's watching a picture but challenging them to face their own isolation through the entrapment of the whales. "Strap Teasing Terror 2" Enter a world where the television dictates the commonplace into psychotic reactions in people unable to distinguish screen violence from everyday life, where pop culture breeds mankind to feed of its own envy and greed, wanton of that Hummer, wanton of the innocent girl and escape is too far from the depraved barrel of the militant politician. "The End" Through the advent of commercialization on large scale through television, the viewer is transported through time circa 1950 B/W through to color found footage hand crafted with our tarnished of our modern age, a zombie stumbles about, undead in the world of the living, fumbling about his would be life, unable to escape his conditioning even in death, distraught with the notion of not being able to associate with the things that meant something to him when living, like love, the perfect tan, his 4 x 4 sport SUV. Haunted Lake-music video for THE GUTTERDEMONS!! Homeboy Tolerance- A warped man confronts the world through distorted eyes, sounding off about the modern age. The Longing -animation- Images of Death paint the postrait, Loosely based on play "Orpheus Descending" by Tennessee Williams
