TRYPPS #7 (BADLANDS)
Year2010 Duration10 min. DirectorBen Russell
Spanish premiere
“Trypps #7 (Badlands) charts, through an intimate long-take, a young woman's LSD trip in the Badlands National Park before descending into a psychedelic, formal abstraction of the expansive desert landscape. Concerned with notions of the romantic sublime, phenomenological experience, and secular spiritualism, the work continues Russell's unique investigation into the possibilities of cinema as a site for transcendence.” Michael Green, MCA Chicago
