    Archaic clichés and symbolized land grabs: bunch mob gang pack rout strings together nearly thirty shots of horsemen crossing empty landscapes. They originate from found raw footage for classical Hollywood westerns from the 1940s. High-contrast black and white alternates with reconstructed three-strip Technicolor. Uncut, usually introduced by a clapperboard at the beginning of each scene, the action reveals its staged character. But there is no overarching narrative, it remains unclear who is riding through the landscape at full gallop with drawn revolvers and why. Good guys and bad guys can no longer be distinguished. The ratio of order and freedom, of civilization and wilderness, is out of balance.
