AGAINST NATURE

What is monstrosity? Can language be monstrous? This work draws on a history of grotesquerie, decorative programmes which emerged from the marginalia of texts. Spaces of fantasy, and representations of a nature that goes against nature, against the grain. Poetry and images will be interlaced with one another to explore the relationship between word and image in the context of the monstrous and grotesque.

Yates Norton & Emma Stirling

DARLING

A woman watches from the balcony, her white dress and mournful song drift down to him in wispy tendrils.

Mournful harmonies mingle in the echoing church, as two lovers re-live their ill-fated affair. Pick up your hymn book and turn to song number

666…

Gentlemen Prefer Bows Over Dinner

Old-time TV over Reebok, heaven over love.
After two beers their lips part; they get very lucky.
Four Martinis later, you’re homeless in America,
carrying an old-fashioned medical bag around
like your mother’s purse. This emergency is paramount,
tantamount, it is a Matterhorn, it is an emergency,
complete and full of meaning, explicitly significant
as a white flag—
Do you ever go to the Disney castle looking for smoke
stacks, a tea house? You are climbing everything
in the field outside my vision, which is the earth,
which is the target of a disaster. Love letters
over candy. Letters over love. There is no love outside
of the letter. There is a rose outside in the garden,
and I caught a falling leaf for the first time in my life.
I cut two copies of the key to my heart,
hammered light into sound, gunned down
three of my greatest opponents with a single shot.
I predicted this catastrophe, the catacombs
beneath the chapel, keyed the hammer, hammered the leaf
into forty smaller leaves. Even this endless heaven requires
an umbrella. Even this eternity retired
and hired a timekeeper. And we are on our way up
the Cyclone, the hurricane is coming. We are embarking
upon the Titanic on its third voyage across
the bottom of the sea, and we will wake up in different
hospitals, end up living in different palaces, one of us might
even camp outside for the night for the romance. The sun
also rises over ten different cities at once. You are climbing
everything in the field outside my vision
with the luck of a leaf. Stuck in seagrass, we flounder
like in the movies. At the end, after the great
disaster, we still take showers, get clean
and have our coffee, a small loaf of bread, and we eat it
with a fork and knife, gentlemen that we are.

AND SO IT IS BECAUSE OF THE LICHEN

Gathering the facts like so many

bones. They make a good tool

for telling you I am in love. With

the ﬂint, I tear one open, climb in,

and speak: hold me close like a cruciﬁx

above the river. I cannot cross it the way

I would my heart. In certain chambers,

the water pooled and stood. Day by day,

you recount your disillusions. You drink

from one spring & then the next. I have

remarked in women a curious ability

to embroider the facts. To get at the truth

I have been compelled to treat them as

pathological. What are her threats

but testimonies of love? That sincerity

she strewed about her as seed is

strewn and up grew a trampled ﬂower.

Gathering the facts like so many ﬂowers,

I just don’t like the water in the air

anymore. Stay on the ground. Let

your feet touch the bottom of the

spring, gaze longingly. These are

your instructions. It’s all you have

to do. He will love you too. You

will have a home. But I am scared

to descend. What if I hate it there?

So many birds in the air, pictures

in the rocks. It is vertiginous. Why

do they make it here, rather than

there? Because of the lichen, it is

impossible to see the footprints of

a child with the natural eye. His

life can be impenetrable because

of the footprints of his children

beneath the lichen. The sun is out &

water falls upon my head. My heart

takes leaps because of the lichen.

RICHARD HOOBAN runs the ZERO FILM FESTIVAL & ZERO PARTIES in NEW YORK. The film festival has travelled round the world and is the first and only festival EXCLUSIVE to self financed filmmakers and the authentically independent films they create. We ❤ ZERO and quizzed Rich on his EMPIRE this week.

ONEOFUS: Can you tell us a bit about Zero Film Festival and Parties?

Richard Hooban: Zero Film Festival is the first and only festival exclusive to self-financed filmmakers.I started the festival 7 years ago in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles to have a place for authentically independent filmmakers to share their films because film festivals tend to only program big budget hollywood fare.

From there Zero Film Festival kept organically growing to other cities as our community of filmmakers grew and I soon moved the festival to New York, which is a better fit for Zero aesthetically and culturally.

Zero Parties came from my having a bunch of sound equipment and projectors in my loft I was only using once a year, and I thought, well, if I can convince a bunch of people to come to a warehouse to watch a bunch of films from filmmakers and actors they have never heard of, then having some electronic music and throwing a big warehouse party should be easy. It also offered me an chance to experiment a bit with non-narrative visual art installation/curation elements which I find very interesting.

ONEOFUS: How did you come up with the brand and why?

RH: Zero comes from “zero budget” so really, the film festival is the “Zero Budget Film Festival” but everyone just called it to Zero instead. The brand itself had a lot of different forms and its evolved over the years, and the Zero just seems to stick whereas logos and theme tend to come and go.

Zero also invokes the ideas of cycles, circles and loops, and as the festival happens throughout the world on a near monthly basis, the name is a fit metaphorically as well.

ONEOFUS: What’s your story/trajectory?

RH: No comment.

Keep them guessing.

ONEOFUS: Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?

RH: Make mistakes. That’s rule number one. Rule number two, it takes more time to be successful with originality but its this same ingredient that will build something that will last.

You have to go all in. You have to put all of your time into it. There is no sleeping. Prepare to make sacrifices. If you can’t go without sushi or new shoes, starting a business, perfecting a craft or making a film isn’t for you.

ONEOFUS: What’s next for Zero?

RH: Moon. We plan to go to the moon.

ZERO’S WINTER WONDERLAND PARTY IS THIS SATURDAY. SEE YOU THERE!
