Outcome

This film is a short representation of a theory of Jarry's - that there is no night or day, and that life is continuous. It also represents the surreal quality that is found in Jarry's work, and the blurred border between real life and fantasy. I feel this is what sums up Alfred Jarry in a way, as he lived his life walking (or cycling) along the divide between dreams and reality, constantly challenging the world and traditional science, and the beliefs and values in society. This film includes the logo of a spiral shape, which is the emblem belonging to the College of pataphysics. The reason a spiral was chosen was because it represents something potentially infinite, and ever growing and expanding, which is appropriate because of the nature of pataphysics-always developing and pushing forwards. I think that the symbol represents Jarry too, as he was continually growing along with his work, and questioning everything. He was also of course very absurd, and confusing when looked at for too long.
