Frequently asked questions
- What is Implosion about?
- IMPLOSION produces an HD image of the horror and anxiety of the now, allowing us to see ourselves freshly from the punk perspective of a vanished SM bohemia, and seeming to urge a betrayal of the present. Based on a play by Kathy Acker, this thirty minute film is an experiment in translation, not only between mediums and formats but between decades and bodies. Iit can be seen as a continuation or exacerbation of a literary gesture initiated by Acker, who set a drama about the French Revolution in early 1980s New York City, transposing this historical content into the language and bodies of downtown punks, drug addicts and sex workers.
