When Luis Bunuel's L' Age d'or was premiered on No vember 29, 1930, it hit a raw nerve, having a potent effect on the audience through its radical and some times scandalous imagery. Banned for fifty years, Bunuel's early Surrealist masterpiece continues to ex ert an enormous influence on the artistic medium of film. L' Age d'or is based on the structure of the Surre alist game of the cadavre exquis and consists of six individual, linked sequences. Following this format, The Scorpion's Sting presents original reinterpreta tions of these episodes by the international contem porary artists John Bock, Chicks on Speed, Keren Cytter, M + M, Julian Rosefeldt, and Tobias Zielony. Created specifically for this joint project, their works are radi cal creations, documented by extensive illustrations and original film scripts included in the publication.
