Ficker uses Manson's real-time film technique of live video projection and split second-choreography. In it two movies collide into each other and bleed onto a single screen. In one movie, Justin searches for a savior from self-annihilation, but can't be helped by the morbid voyeur Jeff nor the manipulative Vivian; and then he meets Rebecca who speeds him along his path of destruction. In another film, a group of city friends find themselves lost in a wilderness that turns mythic and murderous. As the two films intersect, a dark tale of disjunction emerges, exploring the need to comprehend the irreality of death and the everyday presence of violence. A comedy.
Honored to have seen this at the REDCAT in Los Angeles. One of the BEST things I have ever seen.
