David Billet & Ian Kline’s Rabbit/Hare Texas Reason
“The picture stays in the kid. Tell heaven don’t wait for me” What is an image produced if not the perversion of self either in or out of frame? Authorship is dictatorship, no? What to do with a pare? Game Over, and if this isn’t an obvious affront to the Texas that I […]
