Over 150 years ago a group of anonymous Japanese artists created a 34-ft long scroll titled He-Gassen aka 屁合戦, literally: Fart Battle. It was created during the Edo Period (probably around 1846) in Japan and consists of roughly 15 different scenes depicting people directing their farts at other people or objects. There are people farting at each other. There are people farting through objects. There are people combating farts with fans. There are bags of farts being released. Trees and cats get blown away by farts. And the scroll culminates with a divine gust of flatulence knocking over a ceremony and causing complete and utter chaos.

Beethoven- Piano Sonata no. 23 in F minor, op. 57 "Appasionata": Allegro ma non troppo- Presto

Performed by Vladimir Horowitz

The police have just arrested a cinema student who was prostituting herself to pay for her studies. Under the streetlamp, she was reading Kant. She told them the parable of the pigeon:

“When the pigeon flies, it struggles against the resistance of the air, and imagines it would be easier to fly in empty space. But if it flew in empty space, it would fall. In order not to fall, one must learn to resist,” she told them.

It would be the tale of a young filmmaker, just starting out. He wants to film rebellion, resistance, rejection of the world the way it is. First he writes a script and gets together a big team. There’s music and professional actors. It could be the tale of this young woman, in England, in the fifties. Maybe she’s a spy. She could be a Russian spy, supporting the revolutionary cause. Or an Indian terrorist, fighting for her country’s independence. But something’s wrong, it’s all too heavy. So he writes a simpler fiction and films it near home. The actress is the same, now a Maoist militant in the sixties, but the mother and father are not professional actors. But something is wrong, because reality doesn’t follow his script. So, he stops writing and plunges his actress into the social fringe of the eighties.  But something is still wrong, is not synchronous with reality. So he drops the whole team and makes portraits of the rebels, the marginals of his time. But he still feels that something is wrong. He feels the gap between them and him, and realizes it’s just an image. So he sets off alone, realizing he must stop expressing his rebellion through other’s eyes. He starts to film the world: water, stones, clouds. Yes, that’s how it could end: he films the clouds, over and over…Then he understands that he simply has to watch them, that he must stop wanting to reproduce the world…
