“decasia – the state of decay” (bill morrison, 2002)
Decasia – The State Of Decay, assembled by Bill Morrison in 2002 (with music composed by Michael Gordon), is an American found footage film by Morrison. It is a meditation on old, decaying silent films. It begins and ends with scenes of a dervish and is bookended with old footage showing how film is processed. Nothing was done to accelerate the decomposition of the actual film prints, some of which were copied from the University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collections.
