PROPOSAL
REPURPOSING COTENT:
I choose a 1967 film The Tenant directed Roman Polanski as the content for my photobook project. In the film, the character Trelkovsky faces internal battles suspecting his neighbours want to turn him into Simone who is the previous tenant in his house and committed suicide by throwing herself out of the window.

- (haevn't read) Naked Lunch (sometimes The Naked Lunch) is a novel by William S. Burroughs originally published in 1959. The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order.[1] The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the US to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone. The vignettes (which Burroughs called "routines") are drawn from Burroughs' own experience in these places, and his addiction to drugs (heroin, morphine, and while in Tangier, majoun (a strong marijuana confection) as well as a German opioid, brand name Eukodol, of which he wrote frequently).
(In 1991, David Cronenberg released a film of the same name based upon the novel and other Burroughs writings.)
