Compound Editions is very pleased to announce the release of our fifth multiple:
A COUNTRY ROAD. A TREE. EVENING.[wow.episode.01]
by Eve Sussman & Rufus Corporation
music by Lumendog
[Geoff Gersh, Adam Kendall, Christof Knoche, Bradford Reed]
A first installment of a series of pieces that make up the experimental film noir White on White, A COUNTRY ROAD. A TREE. EVENING. is a 6-minute video that comes installed on the state-of-the-art ARCHOS 5 media tablet.
Set in 2016 in A-City, a future metropolis that bears a striking
resemblance to Soviet 1970s, A COUNTRY ROAD. A TREE. EVENING. is a
visual tone poem presented as a list of clues to be elucidated in
future episodes of White on White (hence the subtitle [wow.episode.01]).
White on White is a study of extremes, couched in a vernacular of
nouvelle vague noir and futuristic fantasies. Through the language of
cinema verité , experimental filmmaking, and the thriller genre,
this fictional series examines the limits of personal and political
utopias and desire.
After extensive research, Sussman selected the ARCHOS 5 player for this
Compound Edition for its high-fidelity audio and video and internet
capability. This last fact will allow collectors of this Compound
Edition to continue along the White on White journey in the near future. As episodes of White on White become available fans of the work
can collect them and have them streamed to their Archos player - thereby owning a limited edition film-in-progress and simultaneously
becoming a co-producer of the final film noir.
