Presented by Dissonant Disco at The Gold Saucer April 30th, 2016. 

 

Using footage from the low-budget sci-fi Mesa of Lost Women,  and 'Spaghetti Western' ​ Death Rides a Horse as inspiration, Death Rides the Mess of a Lost Horse explores genre through ​landscape, gesture, texture, and tone. We play with cinematic framing and editing techniques as well as archetypal narratives and silhouettes. A focus in our exploration is on ignoring the distinction between foreground and background.
