eau de cinema (2004)

“eau de cinema is an attempt to contain the uncontainable, to bottle the essence of poetic thought and accident, as a perfume of the creative act. It is also memory driven by an irrepressible mourning, the way scent is linked to both loss and longing. Like cinema, it is both material and immaterial, an apparatus and the experience of light and time. It is disappearance and the obsolescence, of not only technology and culture, but also hybrids and beautiful mutations coming alive. “ — BE
