Autumn Song

Surrealistic, ironic, poetic, Autumn Song is an exploration of an autobiographical landscape which exists between two cultures. Quoting Man Ray, Buster Keaton, Max Ernst and others, John Conomos tries to convey how a ‘post-colonial alien’ feels trapped in post-war Australia. This video consists essentially of simple yet highly expressive images, a carefully measured narrative style and a clearly pronounced idiom almost musical in its effect.
