Revisiting the Situationists

I’ve been working on re-making Guy Debord’s 1973 film version of The Society of the Spectacle, and I thought visitors of this site might be interested. Below is about a draft of one part I have completed so far.

 

And for some additional fun, I’ve put together several texts about the Situationists, as well as some other peripheral texts about May 68 and the Lettrists that you might enjoy! I know I will. Thanks to aaaaarg for all these great finds!
