Inhaltsangabe

Cellulose nitrate was introduced in 1889, and used until the 1950s as the – frighteningly flammable – basis of film stock. Simon Perril’s new book of poems is a meditation upon the birth of the moving picture, the allure of the film still, the aesthetics of the early horror film, and the contemporary `intermission’ that moors us out of time. Its touchstones are the chronophotographs of E.J. Marey and the cinematic `essays’ of film-maker Chris Marker. Marey’s experiments in understanding motion inadvertently contributed to the origins of film, but also, more darkly, to the industrial management of work and time. In a book of three markedly different sections, Perril explores these connections in poems as luminous and flammable as the films to which they pay homage.
