Teenage Babylon

Teenage Babylon presents the aftermath of three teenage suicides through the medium of what purports to be 1960s vintage black and white police file footage The films haunting images evoking teenage love gone wrong are counterpointed by a series of saccharine torch songs celebrating falling in love and the end of a masquerade Through a kind of bathetic synthesis the dialectic of Eros and Thanatos love and death is consummated in the morgue of the forensic archive
