Burroughs Lecture Series: Iain Sinclair from The Photographers' Gallery on Vimeo.
To coincide with the centenary of William S.
Burroughs' birth, writer Iain Sinclair presents Ghosts of a a Ghost:
Time surgery, William Burroughs and the death of the image, a
fragmentary consideration of the interplay of photography, sound
recording, manipulated autobiography, interview and anecdote in
Burroughs' work. Sinclair draws on inspiration from the Taking Shots
exhibition, personal correspondence, aborted film documentaries and late
meetings (as recorded in his book American Smoke: Journeys to the End
of the Light).
