    By Shereen Tan
    Featured 2 months ago

    Final adaptation based on the poem "STRANDED" by Tricia Dearborn. An experimental video which combines stop-motion and film. This final video tells the story from the characters eyes, presenting an imagined notion of how his mind might work as he watches feet of every kind rush by him on a daily basis.

    This particular video concentrates on one stanza that is bolded below.

    Stranded (by Tricia Dearborn)

    The pose is pure swimsuit model —
    lying full-length along one side,
    propped up on one elbow,

    head coquettishly in hand —
    except he wears tracksuit pants,
    love-handles prominent above the waistband,

    the soles of his feet are black with dirt
    and he lounges on the concrete floor
    of Wynyard Station. He smokes,

    watching bemused as we stride
    to our destinations: a tide of stilettos,
    business shoes, school socks

    that sweeps out at morning peak hour,
    back in at evening. Swelling,
    receding, leaving him

    stranded (the next day
    he’s wearing flowered boardies
    and facing the other direction).

    A Road on Stilts
    By Joyce Parkes

    What is a bridge? Jake asked other readers
    and writers, the day they were discussing
    their mother and father. A road on stilts,
    Jade submitted after having listened to
    Consanguinity and Contiguity. Not unlike

    considering tomorrow Jake replied, having
    crossed the Narrow’s Bridge most mornings
    and nights. Precisely Jade jumped, before
    diving to surface and wave at passers-by
    trying the bridge of sighs and solace.
