A meditation on the Labyrinth, using found and detourned footage. A scene from Ken Loach's 1972 film Poor Cow was re-filmed upside down and combined with television archive images of a bullfight - witnessed by Ernest Hemingway. The film material has been re-shot through various colour filters and scratched film frames have been tinted and carefully inserted to act as violent punctuations.
"The dream-like and transient lucidity of the labyrinth has sustained itself as a source of meaning for all exploratory movement, no doubt largely due to the living nightmare. In any event the labyrinth is the passageway that allows the marriage of the material world of things and the oneiric universe. The question - for which the answer is a kind of arch - is not how you came to be in the labyrinth but, how do you intended to leave."
