Exquisite Desolation

Video Arena

From the depths of Video Arena comes Exquisite Desolation, an anthology of strange and surreal animation beamed direct from VHS to your eyeballs. Organized by VA founder, artist and animator Taylor Duff and comprising the work of 22 international independent animation artists, Exquisite Desolation is a dadaistic swirl of hand-rendered visual anarchy, assembled in the form of a compilation, much in the lineage of Liquid Telivision or Heavy Metal.
