Chris Marker

Haven't reread those links recently. My memory was there was a five high stack of video monitors four around looping black and white footage of a glamorous lady or an old school phonograph, along with mash-up film posters on the nearby walls of things like a Maciste movie directed by René Clair, say.

I used to walk by this interesting-looking super high-window office in Soho which turned out to be for the publishing company Seven Stories Press. Soon I found out that a guy I knew worked there so one day he invited me in. On the walls there were some really interesting posters and drawings. On one wall was a bunch of doodles done by Kurt Vonnegut illustrating the seven (?) basical plotlines such as Man Falls in Hole. On another was a poster full of cool-looking /slightly-pulpy paperback covers that didn’t look quite real. I said “that looks like a Chris Marker thing” and he said “it is!”
