The Film
In Peter Geschwind’s works the frenzy prevails. Working with everyday household items, Sound Cut has a crowd of brand products go bonkers: a ketchup bottle drops, scissors click, next, a box of washing powder skates the kitchen floor chased by a roaring vacuum cleaner in a racy sequence not unworthy of high-end animation films. Edited to the rhythmic chart of a Dead Kennedy’s song, this hilarious clip both exorcises and ridicules our often conflictive, but strangely human relationships with the world of objects. How often have you caught yourself pleading with a renitent bottle cap, trying to reason a defunct dishwasher, or cursing a humming fridge?
