Dreams of The Vanishing West
Images from Melody Kahtava of buildings and the landscape of the lost west – reminiscent of the landscape, buildings and towns in Vanishing Point
Jailbird
A young jailbird manages to escape from prison but struggles to hold down a job in this dialogue-free experimental short by John Pearse, co-owner of 60s fashion emporium Granny Takes a Trip. Pearse turned to film in the early 70s and shot this film, which stars his wife Florence Nicaise, in Westbourne Grove and Lots Road in London. It remained unseen until 1979, when it was shown with the feature Caligula.
Dreams of The Vanishing West
Melody and Bryan Kahtava scour the mines and forgotten buildings of the Mid-West of America – looking like the towns that Kowalski speeds through and past in Vanishing Point – “Some are funny. Some are touching. Some are creepy. Some are boring…”
Melody’s photographs capture a forgotten and often now destroyed world, they are both driven forward by preservation of history, both through photos and arterfacts, preserving something that otherwise would never have been seen again
