Red River Nonsites

Storyline

Located somewhere between the writings of Robert Smithson and the westerns of Howard Hawks—that somewhere being the present, momentarily suspended in a few video fragments of the landscape. A here and an elsewhere, a site (sight) and its nonsite (nonsight). Another movie adrift in the atmosphere. Pieces of information on the assembly and disassembly of Red River (1948) played and fast-forwarded against a background of fall leaves. Cattle, cowboys, and everything else that once made up the cinematic imaginary.
