Curtis works is pretty good when seen as an abstract artistic patchwork of archive footage. One can enjoy it the same way you would enjoy an artsy novel or a song based on real life events. Unfortunately that’s also exactly the style used (minus the artistic aspect) by conspiracy propagandists, and it seems pretty clear in 2023 that a large amount of the population consume that type of content as “here is the map of the hidden truth THEY try to hide!” and completely disconnect from reality.

I love his work, the mix of music and imagery is stimulating my brain in a way that makes me feel creative and as if I went through a whole journey. But I hate the fact it gives some form of legitimacy to conspiracy bullshit…
