Johanna Gosse’s lecture continues Film Beyond Film: Art and The Moving Image, a series of monthly lectures at e-flux Screening Room by researchers whose work has formed the discourse at the intersection of modern/contemporary art and cinema, and that focus on the histories of artists’ films, situating them within broader aesthetic, political, and economic contexts. Preceded by a in-person-only screening of the film, this talk emerges from a new open-access article published in the Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. The discussion will focus on how the film’s psychedelia is shaped by a colonialist logic of “expansion” and (self-) discovery, in which primitivist projections of Indigeneity play a constitutive role. Despite a body of literature supporting the benefits of altered states of consciousness, alcohol and drug rehabilitation treatment programs fail to address this. This talk will trace how the twin motifs of border crossing and atomic anxiety surface in LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS, and in turn, how Conner’s film illuminates the complex cultural politics of race and nation within the 1960s counterculture. a year later coincided with the peak of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This curiously timed homecoming, which was synched to an exceptionally tense moment of Cold War political theater, throws into relief the personal and political aspirations behind the mushroom hunts captured in Conner’s film. In fact, Conner’s year in Mexico was suffused with existential anxiety over the looming nuclear threat: though he initially fled south to escape the bomb, his subsequent return to the U.S. While nuclear paranoia is the central theme of many of Conner’s found footage films, such as A MOVIE (1958), COSMIC RAY (1961), and CROSSROADS (1976), it is also a subtext of LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS, which uses dazzling psychedelic visual effects to convey the ominous threat of the bomb. Inspired by Conner’s experience living in Mexico City in the early 1960s and his avid experimentation with psychedelics, particularly hallucinogenic psilocybin mushrooms, the film features ethnographic views of rural village life, cameos from LSD guru Timothy Leary, and multiple allusions, literal and symbolic, to an atomic mushroom cloud, all set to a lively rock soundtrack by the Beatles. This talk focuses on Bruce Conner’s LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS (1959-1967), an exemplary instance of experimental film’s engagement with the psychedelic counterculture.
