Decasia

Decasia  

Presented by Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe at Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site

September 10, 2010


Bill Morrison's Decasia was created from his discovery of a trove of old, decaying film stock. Scored by Michael Gordon of Bang on a Can, the movie is an expressionist collage of past images—of dreams, romance, drama, exotic locales and mythic cinema—that have become subverted by the striking visual consequences of the decomposing film: melting, rusted, warped, disintegrating. Perhaps this is really what happened after they rode off into the sunset. Bill Morrison’s films and videos have been screened in theaters, museums, and concert halls worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Sundance Film Festival and Tate Modern.
