Paradise Crushed

2003 12min

Paradise Crushed could be the black hole at the center of the film and video constellation that is Thornton's Peggy and Fred cycle. Scraps of sound and image, barely recognizable from previous episodes, collide and recombine as the story of the two children "raised by television" buckles under the pressure of digital technologies, electronic surveillance and millennial apocalyptic fervor.
