Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine
Sequel to the cinemascope trilogy previously screened at the festival. This time Tscherkassky, using montage and printer techniques, processes images from Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. He studies the image and literally strips it of its original colour, form and meaning. As a result we eventually find the hero, who seems to feel he has been surrendered to the mercy of the director, in a realm of shadows. Tscherkassky describes this work as ‘an attempt to transform a romantic Western into a Greek tragedy’.
Peter TSCHERKASSKY (1958, Vienna) studied philosophy, teaches film in Vienna and Linz and is co-founder of Sixpack Film.
