The Atrocity Exhibition

One of the inspirations for my site-spec piece last year was the work of JG Ballard, in particular his collection of short-stories called The Atrocity Exhibition, elements of which would become the novel Crash. The short stories act as vignettes into the mindset of a professor experiencing a mental breakdown, and his attempts to make sense of reality by creating re-enactments and restagings of specific events which he considers significant, using students and patients as actors. Below is a link to an experimental student film based on The Atrocity Exhibition and David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Crash; be warned, however – both are NSFW and definitely not for the faint of heart or stomach.
