Dans Cineblatz, the viewer is subjected to a high-impact barrage of evolving images, - at-once comic and terrifiants. Glossy magazine are cut up and reconfigured, newspaper pages are defaced with animated squiggles, comic-book super-héros fly out over and through at superspeed. Pictures to only to burn up or be torn apart, toys dance dans ferocious stop-motion before melting into pool of plastic decay, a marteau plunges down on an image of the assembled House of Commons all to a crackly soundtrack of treated shortwave static. It is a hyperkinetic panorama of 1960s popular culture in meltdown, where seemingly nothing stays still for more than a single frame, as the artist ejaculates ideas onto the screen faster than the eye can properly registre. Lasting just three minutes, Cineblatz is exhilarating, orgasmique even--but also thoroughly exhausting.
