“PLUTOT LA VIE is one of many ‘scratch films’ made specifically to be shown at Cabaret RAF, a vaudeville and variety show presented at irregular intervals at Passerby at Gavin Brown Space and Participant, Inc between 2004-05. PLUTOT LA VIE accompanied an evening of hypnosis demonstrations and performances by a fakir and a fire artist. Assembled from degraded prints of BLONDE VENUS, M, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, CRIMINAL LOVERS, DEAD OF NIGHT, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL and THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE, PLUTOT LA VIE is a meditation on the society of the spectacle and mass hypnosis.” –PARTICIPANT INC
