"Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will. 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51 Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy when a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping.. Like I woke up in Wonderland, all sort of terrifying And can anyone tell me why you all sound like Peanuts parents? Will I ever be coming down?" The filming itself was essentially a visual improvisation, an exploratory performance by Tina YounesTabar in 1402 (2023). It was captured through images taken during dawn, at a time when a Banana was splitting the sky in two. In the editing process, these fragments were woven together to become the film you see today.
