Collage / Cut-Up / Pierre Boulez / Life On Screen

***

i remember the conversation about the 

                                                             powerlessness of the artist in society 

                                                                   i know that publishers don't care much

                                                                   whether people read books just so long 

                                                                   as they buy them 

                                                           'he's dead,' she said flatly. 'i knew it.'

                                                           'knew it?'

                                                           'well, I dreamed it.' 

                                                    these detourned images are not only decapitated (authorless)

                                                    but, as a cut-up, montaged fragments, they also

                                                    metaphorically represent a body in pieces.

                                                      'we rise and descend like ghosts,' panted the leaves

                                                       in their successive service.

(Jarry, Rumney, Fuller, Raymond, Stracey)
