I lost a poem

Johannesburg
Artist / director: Erica Luttich
Poet / artist: Anni Snyman
3'00''
2009

This video poem laments the loss of slow significant contact that a vehicle bound city inhabitant experiences, but also exalts in the infinitely interesting stream of image, noise and thought that flows by. In the timeframe of the automobile, images, moments and themes repeat continually. This transforms the city into an experience of motion and rhythm, rather than locality.
