This Yellow Brick Road Goes Nowhere (2010)

◇ After

The Wizard of Oz · Victor Fleming / MGM (after L. Frank Baum), 1939

Four travellers slumped on a red settee under open blue sky, the road running out beneath them. The costumes are the film's down to the funnel hat, the ruby slippers and the Lion's bow.

“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.

Chronicles of 72

Jermaine Rogers in his own words, alongside research from the archive. Quoted material is reproduced verbatim, and every voice is labelled.

There are no magic roads that lead to 'everything you've always dreamed of'. There are no wizards with all of the answers that will make your life a success. 'Life' is off the road, out in the mud, and the weeds and the woods. It's not all pretty, and it's not paved: you'll have to do a little work and a lot of thinking for yourself. But you'll sleep better. Still, if you do choose to follow one of the countless yellow-brick-roads out there, make sure you bring a chair. It gets tiring going in circles.
