Go to hell
Go to hell was a collaboration with David Rutsula and Cassandra Stark. The film depicts Rutsula as a bum, vomiting on the sidewalk. Staggering to his feet he follows a woman (Stark) into a derelict lot. In the wasteland a junky comes forward, grinning inanely at the camera, wich zooms in on the bloodied needle hanging from a vein in his arm (Orion Jeriko suggests that this is some of Zedd´s "finest camerawork"). Rutsula follows Stark, pushes her over and beats her (presumably to death). Zedd appears and awakens/revives Stark with a kiss, the two embrace and look towards the horizon where a mushroom cloud from an Atom Bomb looms. Go to hell was an improvised film where each of the collaborators took turns to shoot and act in the film. In an article called The Lost Films of Cassandra Stark, Orion Jeriko suggests that the film is the product of a "third mind". The "third mind" being a term introduced via the collaborative team of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, who suggested that the "third mind" was an absent, unseen and superior mind wich guided the productive flow and output of artistic collaborations.
