Dung Smoke Enters the Palace (1989)

An antinarrative adventure traveling through a phantasmagoric environment void of stability The video presents a bizarre compendium of archival and industrial footage accompanied by a noisy soundtrack of music and voices from the past as if echoing the ether of the viewers mind Thorntons distinctive visual style of collaging random elements elicits an eerie sense of being lost amidst past and present breeding a confusion that complicates any clear reading of the image
