From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

EVIDENTLY, CHICKEN TOWN! is a short film based on a poem I wrote Dinner time. Focus of the project is on the adaptation from language, poetry specifically, to moving image. Poetry by nature is a collage of imagery (analogies, metaphors and hyperboles). To get the same story across through a different medium you change the way it is "told" by virtue of a different vocabulary. What seems natural in written and spoken language becomes rather theatrical and camp in visual imagery. This element of conflation and contrast is something I wanted to render visible: contrasting sizes and materials.
