Press review of PICTURES OF THE LOST WORD:
"Wyborny's previous film, Birth of a Nation, was organised around a narrative exposition, there is a repetition of the titles and some of the elements of the narrative. This problematic, of the importance of enunciated speech, is thematised in the title of this film, Pictures of the Lost word, the lost word is sought for in a series of images, accompanied by a few short, possibly autobiographical statements. The image band presents a series of static views of a small number of rural and urban scenes (the prominence of Battersea power station probably a cinematic reference (LeGrice) with a few people present. Each scene is presented several times in succession, each time by a lens of different focal length, such that the impression is both of repetition (shots of the same 'content') and difference (different focal length). As the film progresses the shots become shorter and of a more exotic locale, as Wyborny follows Werner Herzog to Ireland and Morocco, and with increased emphasis on the processed image using colour negative similarly to Birth of a Nation but even more aestheticised. The film evokes an overwhelming impression of nostalgia, reinforced by its use of music (reminiscent of Satie) the flow of which is, however, constantly interrupted creating uncertainty as to its interpretation."
