Pastiche Vol 1 No1 is the first release by actor-turned-video artist Ned Daly. In this transgressive multi-media work, Daly combines a kind of “found poetry” (the opening/closing lines of novels by authors as varied as Samuel Beckett and Toni Morrison) with appropriated images from the American film noir canon.
Based on Daly’s edgy graphic novel of the same name, the bizarrely unrelated text elements are knit together with sound and image to make a new work none of the original authors could have conceived of.
Early viewers have called it “macabre,” “enthralling,” and “something you can watch on (the) phone while hanging onto the pole on the metro to work.”
Pastiche Vol1 No1 made its World Premiere as an Official Selection of the 6th Annual Seoul International Extreme Short Image and Film Festival on September 26, 2014.
