Have A Nice Day Alone

Elusive and compelling Have a Nice Day Alone is surpassingly strange even for Leslie Thornton an acknowledged genius of the unexpected The entire spatial field of the film is activated by a technological nervous twitch a bizarrely beautiful and hypnotic pulsing The image shrinks flows collapses seeming to follow some strange and hidden agenda There is a text about speech on screen visible through the pulse In the background extreme forms of vocalization yodeling and macabre laughter punctuate the visual space As the image flutters a robotic voice speaks about various conditions of speech Language is dislocatedIt is unclear whether the voice mimics or generates the text Thomas Zummer
