Weir on the River Po reimagined by Julian Weaver.

"In the introduction to his last film The Turin Horse, Béla Tarr, after repeating the apochryphal tale of Friedrich Nietzsche's breakdown, ends with the statement "Of the horse… we know nothing."

This is the only veracious line, evidenced by Anacleto Verrecchia's 'La Catastrofe di Nietzsche a Torino', yet each retelling elaborates further; adding spurious detail until nothing but detail remains: perfect post-truth interference.

I've take an additive approach; the white noise of the weir on the River Po with those of equine breaths and freshets at the Hydro near Blarney, Co. Cork, Ireland."
