ANGSTAGRAM FROM POCHSY
ANGSTAGRAM FROM POCHSY*
A crie de coeur from the cutting room floor: desiccating Super-8 film strips from a lifetime ago find new life with new words as Pochsy imagines a wild new bio-frontier. A filmic Frankenstina.
Cinematography by Peter Moller.
(*Pochsy is pronounced “Poxy” and is an anagram for “Psycho.”)
