Middlesex Video Made From Prelinger Archives' Footage

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

I put this video together from public domain footage of the city of Detroit, Michigan in America. The footage has been made available for download and 'remixing' from the Prelinger Archives. I found the footage quite fitting to the song as the song is about the book 'Middlesex' by Jeffrey Eugenides (Virgin Suicides) which is largely set in an early 20th Century Detroit. See the Boingboing article on the significance of the footage.

About Mixtape

Mixtape is a blog run (loosely) by Linda Stupart as a manifestation of a project in which she collaborates with a large group of smart, interesting, wonderful cultural producers. As such, Mixtape documents these collaborations. More than that, though, the blog serves as a space for each member of the project to post whatever they like: Tell us what they’re making, thinking, doing or, even, feeling. The blog also forms a space for Linda, a Cape Town based critic, artist, feminist, WWE fan and cultural commentator, to post her writing.
