TransTrans (TransformersTransformed)

Bradley Eros & Tim Geraghty “TransTrans (TRANSFORMERS Transformed)”

12 minutes

“Our cinema must detach itself from reality and become deforming,

synthetic and dynamic!”

~ F.T. Marinetti

A radical remix of the recent Transformers film, via synthetic

collapse and critical revenge on its old & new fascist tropes >

celebrating SPEED. NOISE. + DANGER. The fervent declarations & violent

poetry of the Futurists are superimposed on the mythic morphology of

the Autobot blockbuster’s machine mayhem. Images of death &

destruction reign in a delirium of transformations as, to quote

Marinetti: “We Decompose the Universe!”
