Zapping Poetry - the movie

few years ago i started to work at a new literary concept, so called "zapping poetry", meaning a sort of non-fictional, ready-made literature [generaly speaking, this means the mixing of some non-literary, ready-made "pieces" - using the subtitles of the movies, short-messages of mobile-phones or the headlines from the newspapers...]. i published 2 experimental poetry books and i made this video-project, shooting some TV-screens and mixing the subtitles. Unfortunately for non-romanian audience, this is done with romanian words. Now i need a subtitling for the subtitles :)

not a new literary concept. it's called Found poetry, been around for decades.

@allthekentsmen: I didn't want to emphasise the "new" side of my work, even I'm so inclined to make experiments: this is just a stage of the regular work of a writer. It was about something "new" in my projects, and I specifed: "a sort of ready-made literature". („Ready-made" is a similar concept, but older then Found poetry..). Another clue could be Dada! (Which was coined by a romanian poet, Tristan Tzara...)
