    After the guitars have fallen silent, a rocker’s return back home from a concert becomes a weird trip. The line between what was, what will be and what may have never happened is growing blurry. This grotesque journey through the hazy (non-)reality benefits from the skilfully built atmosphere of shady gas stations and bars, connected by a somewhat sinister deer.

    This black-and-white music video visualises a stream of consciousness in which the director transforms structures from broken asphalt, lichen and glass fibre concrete. He combines these materials with illustrations from his old textbooks and encyclopaedias which are similar to shamanic drawings. From this dark and surreal tangle, a head emerges – a photograph of Edgar Allan Poe.

    Individual schizophrenically narrated episodes take us through the instrumentalisation of life by creating pulp (mirroring the film itself) and personifying a machine. The film is rooted in the director’s infinite hatred of computers and, in a deeper sense, explores the boundaries of resistance in the digital age.
