Film Information: (6 mins) The Defenestrascope throws the view through windows from monumental towers, in contemporary and medieval European city and town. This eccentric exploration of urbanised space revolves around a sample ensemble setting of the traditional 16th century Norfolk song Go from the Window, framed by a fragmented clapping rhyme. A neo-rococo vaudevillian romp dedicated to Alan Lomax and Gus Elen. “go from the window, throw from the window downsteps upstairs, upsteps downstairs down in the street, out in the street the wind is in the west, the cuckoo's in the nest along the canal, down from the torre bicycle piazza, amphitheatre through the agora, crossing the ringroad a ladder and some glasses, a rope and a pulley crossing the platz, along the strasse out of the window, down from the window” Film Shown as part of Purescreen DVD*01.
