Civilized life is based on a huge number of illusions in which we all collaborate willingly. The trouble is we forget after a while that they are illusions and we are deeply shocked when reality is torn down around us.
The Benign Catastrophist

“A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, consumer goods, status — all these in one event. I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing).” — JG Ballard

“I think the key image of the 20th century is the man in the motor car. It sums up everything: the elements of speed, drama, aggression, the junction of advertising and consumer goods with the technological landscape.The sense of violence and desire, power and energy; the shared experience of moving together through an elaborately signalled landscape.We spend a substantial part of our lives in the motor car, and the experience of driving condenses many of the experiences of being a human being in the 1970s, the marriage of the physical aspects of ourselves with the imaginative and technological aspects of our lives. I think the 20th century reaches its highest expression on the highway.
Everything is there: the speed and violence of our age; the strange love affair with the machine, with its own death.”
—J.G Ballard, Crash

Nightmare Angel is a 1986 short avant-garde film based on J.G. Ballard's novel "Crash" starring Bill Moseley as what basically is the equivalent of Vaughan's character. It's a very good and sexy adaptation but I was disappointed by the lack of gay sex so I HAD TO FIX IT. I love Ballard's obsession with Vaughan in the book, I think it's one of the best depiction of homoerotic desire. Anyway, you can watch the short on Vimeo, it's sooo good if you're into experimental cinema.
