The Gay Agenda 26

The Albatross

January 1998 •English

A ship sets sail on an epic voyage through malignant natural and supernatural elements from which one man alone survives. An adaptation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner illustrated by19th Century wood engravings which are animated by scratching directly into the surface of color filmstock. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner with its message of ecological redemption has a curiously contemporary resonance, but it is at the level of the mythic that the poem has lasting relevance; for this epic tale of extraordinary events simply mirrors the struggle that each human being faces on their own in his or her life. -VDB

Colour Poetry

Colour Poetry explores the journey of two lovers—Red, chaotic and anxious, and Blue, calm and structured—their characters being constructed through the lens of their emotional and mental states. As they navigate the complexities of a long-distance relationship, their interactions subtly transform their identities. While Red finds solace and stability in love, Blue begins to feel suffocated and reluctant to change. Their inevitable reunion forces them to confront an uncomfortable truth: growth isn’t always shared, and love doesn’t always mean staying together. As they move toward a seemingly unbreakable bond of their union, they must confront the reality that not all transformations are mutual.
