"I'm looking for interaction between things that originally didn't have any." - Winston Hacking from CBC Arts cbc.ca/arts/exhibitionists/winston-hacking-s-collages-turn-old-ads-into-psychedelic-fever-dreams-1.4681512
The film was made specifically for a group show in Vienna (curated by Clint Enns and Madi Piller) titled From A to Z, that reflects on Micheal Snow’s 1956 animated film of the same name, and his multiplicity of approaches which fluidly transition between media and form.
The piece is an endless barrage of hyperlinked cable television commercials. With equal doses of satire and nostalgia, the promised pleasures of late consumer capitalism are deconstructed through a contemporary form of détournement. - Clint Enns
