A short film based on the monolog THE DESTRUCTION ARTIST by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham. The Destruction Artist recounts a tale of how our subject evolved from an artist who would destroy his own mediocre works, as a statement of sacrifice and rebellion against the merely ‘not awful’ artistic expressions of his peers, to one obsessed with the notion of ‘taking a bite out of the soul’ in destroying the works of others, before finally landing at physical self-mutilation and the inviting of tortured females to exact acts of violence upon him.

Insane and consumed by life, Janvier is a middle-aged French musician living on the edge of a metropolis where voices and sounds are piled up and confused in monochromatic concrete landscape.Janvier's escape is a process of auto-exclusion: being no one allows him to interact with the surrounding scenario at various levels of his 'mental orchestra'.He wanders maniacally on the road retaining objects found in the trash, in a peculiar process of mingling and abstraction of waste materials, he creates new tools with which composes and performs his own music in counter-tendency to the logic and the classical dynamics of production, purely for expressive needs.A border music which arises from the madness of a necessary isolation: an extreme experimental version of survival and authenticity. |
