description About

Inspired by Beat Poet Ed Dorn's assertion that a poem is a 'document,' "Universe of Broken Parts" reflects Richard Kerr's interest in the poetics of image and sound. Transitioning from a balletic dance of shadows playing basketball, to pure abstraction of shape and colour, and cresting with images of police in riot gear, UNIVERSE amalgamates Kerr's painterly and documentarian impulses into a contrapuntal, yet fluid whole.
