Roadside Picnic
Brent Grayburn

'Roadside Picnic' is a video sculpture that journeys to the edge of an invaded forest where a nervous picnicker squirms in a state of high agitation amongst a landscape of ever compressing whiteness and discarded debris. Part Sublime, partly distant madness, this 'place' is a video wasteland infested with detachment and voodoo, utilising multiple projections and a black forest for it's occupation. Shot in reverse and constructed backwards, Roadside Picnic is the book written by Russian novelists Boris and Arkady Strgatsky and is credited by Andrei Tarkovsky for nothing other than the words Stalker and Zone.
