I VIDEO DI CHRIS PETIT<br />

Petit ha scritto un pezzo per<br />

“Sight and Sound” intitolato<br />

Flickers. Consisteva interamente<br />

in immagini al presente<br />

tratte dai film preferiti: un’epopea di frammenti, dissolvenze<br />

arbitrarie. London Labyrinth era così: home movie,<br />

John Betjeman, centauri alla Ken Loach, periferie, treni<br />

<strong>del</strong>la metropolitana, scarti di pellicole, spogliarelliste pallide<br />

al provino, complotti alla Fu Manchu lungo il fiume.<br />

Cinema al tracollo. Il termine <strong>del</strong>la notte. Un’abdicazione<br />

al coinvolgimento. Robinson nella sua sala di montaggio –<br />

come il Dr. Mabuse – che ricompone la Storia da interminabili<br />

bobine di documentazione e fantasia. (Iain Sinclair,<br />

Lights Out for the Territory)<br />

London Labyrinth proietta una città di schegge di memoria,<br />

accumulando fonti teatrali e documentarie. Modernismo<br />

patologico: l’arte <strong>del</strong>la pattumiera, il ladro di rifiuti.<br />

(“Sight and Sound”)<br />

Petit wrote a piece for “Sight<br />

and Sound” called Flickers. It<br />

consisted entirely of presenttense<br />

images from favourite<br />

films: an epic of fragments, arbitrary dissolves. London<br />

Labyrinth was just like that: home movies, John Betjeman,<br />

Ken Loach bikers, suburbs, underground trains, clips from<br />

plays, pale strippers auditioning, Fu Manchu riverside conspiracies.<br />

Cinema in meltdown. The end of the night. An abdication<br />

of involvement. Robinson in his cutting room – like Dr.<br />

Mabuse – recomposing History from endless reels of documentation<br />

and fantasy. (Iain Sinclair, Lights Out for the<br />

Territory)<br />

London Labyrinth conceives of a city of memory shards, an<br />

accumulation from theatrical and documentary sources.<br />

Pathological modernism: the art of the dustbin, the skip thief.<br />

(“Sight and Sound”)<br />
