Play Ground
No Particular Order by Joel Tan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A 300 year epic told through 17 minute portraits, Joel Tan's No Particular Order is a very heavy going, incredible piece of writing detailing the rise and fall(?) of an unnamed despot in an unnamed country in an unnamed time.
We talk war, dictatorships, and whether ART can ever do justice to the atrocities that so many must suffer.
