Description
ADGIN PRRX is an anagram of “Grand Prix”, the title of John Frankenheimer’s 1966 monumental motor racing film, which Norbert Pfaffenbichler has remounted here into a strictly metrical and deeply personal meditation on the nature of time, the thrill of speed and the melancholy of creeping deceleration, standstill and death.
