COEFFICIENT OF WEIRDNESS Brazil/Singapore | 2015 | experimental | full HD & found footage
"When the “coefficient of weirdness” floats free from the “coefficient of reality,” the result is a new sort of exoticism. The strangeness that’s produced does not inhere in the culture or world of the peoples represented. This exoticism is different from earlier varieties — romantic, Orientalist, and poetic — for what has become irreducibly curious is no longer the other but cultural description itself.” ~ James Clifford
