Summary
Often compared to Stan Brakhage, Bill Morrison created Decasia entirely with decaying old, "found film" footage, melded to the music of Band on a Can's Michael Gordon, performed by the 55-piece basel sinfonietta. The result is a delirium of deteriorated film stock, an avant-garde film that leaves its meaning open to interpretation and, most importantly, your imagination.
