Part IV: ?

In a wonky universe set within the fake walls of an old abandoned children’s TV show, Mr Samuel and his friends - peculiar, ugly puppets navigating the strange thing that is time - attempt to make sense of it all through stories, songs and arduous loops of nonsensical chores. A film in four parts. French anarchist Laurencic’s ‘colored cells’ were the first use of modern art as a method of psychotechnic torture. “The cells were as inspired by ideas of geometric abstraction and surrealism as they were by avant-garde art theories on the psychological properties of colors… the walls, which were curved and covered with mind-altering patterns of cubes, squares, straight lines, and spirals which utilized tricks of color, perspective, and scale to cause mental confusion and distress.” With an emphasis on set-building, the disintegrating world of Mr. Samuel manifests as a colored cell through a set that is falling apart.
