I wanted to make a self-sufficient film, photographing myself in those mirrors on the table with all that water and prisms, and glasses and cups. In a way I was saying I can do a film that needs no people, no outside world, no glamour, no money, and do it all in the kitchen.Read More »

“Vivienne Dick’s second film has at its centre two of the subjects of her first film “Guerillere Talks”, Pat Place and Lydia Lunch. Moving from a kitchen on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the film explores the dynamic between a complacent, almost catatonic/zombified Pat Place and the demonic, aggressive Lydia Lunch (repeating “What are you going to do?” over and over), ending with a showdown (i.e. Pat strangling Lydia) at the rollercoaster on Coney Island. The film utilises a linear narrative which is counterbalanced by an impressionistic view of New York, lit by green fluorescent lights, with intermittent effects added in-camera by Dick, including red filters and ‘earthquakes’.Read More »
