Guy Debord's landmark cinematic analysis of consumer society is based on
his influential sociological book "La société du spectacle" (1967).
Debord was a leading member of the avant-garde art movement
'Situationist International'. This cinematic essay uses their method of
'détournement' to decontextualize and rearrange preexisting audiovisual
materials and texts to critizise them and create new meaning. The result
is a subversive collage of ideological (moving) images from socialist
and capitalist societies that are presented here as artefacts of a
global media 'spectacle': Social relations between people are mediated
by artificial images and false representations that transform humans
into mere passive consumers and 'spectators' of their alienated
existence. Guy Debord's motivation was to create a radical social
critique and a disruptive, anti-illusionist cinema as an antidote and
revolutionary tool against the dominant cultural and sociopolitical
forces of his time.
