Queer e tempo: una breve riflessione sulla linearità

di Davide Curcuruto

Prima deriva dal latino primus (primo) e ci restituisce una concezione temporale che sta alla base di ogni riflessione socio-filosofica dell’interpretazione occidentale del reale.

Thee Balancer, The Parallel Bars – Pierre Klossowski

Trailer for the script for a short film. Script, direction, editing, sound design, by Thee Balancer, 1995*

As my dissertation for the Cologne Academy of Media Arts I wrote the script for a 20-minute short film. It is based on themes in Pierre Klossowski's Novel "The Laws of Hospitality".

The trailer was made in order to better introduce my script. Unfortunately I couldnt realize the project up to day.

*Thee Balancer is based in Berlin. Initially drawn to tape experiments in the late Seventies involving recording and layering snippets from TV alongside music, this lead Thee Balancer into electronic music with the work of Throbbing Gristle cited as a major influence on his work. After a spell in Jamaica voraciously absorbing reggae and dub, Thee Balancer returned to Germany, enrolled at Cologne's Academy of Media Arts and focussed exclusively on sound design and film score, a grounding that gives his tracks a rich atmosphere and spatial depth.
