Me and Brenda have decided to work on a (probably very loose) adaptation of The Atrocity Exhibition by J. G. Ballard. I have read and enjoyed lots of Ballard's work before but never read this one.
The book is based around a central character who is slipping further and further into psychosis, and the text is broken up into separate segments which can be read in any order. The main character, whose name changes throughout the book, continuously uses mathematical or geographical language to describe human physiology, and vice versa, and the book has a really lovely visual quality to the writing.
We are planning on doing a quite experimental film, with collage, digital cutout and a kind of abstract/ambient soundscape.
