Archie Peach is a lost character who has left everything behind; yet this is not a sad story – in fact, it is not a story at all. Rather, it is a fragmentary thought experiment about rejection, separation, transgression and the abandonment of supposedly universal ideas. The resulting void could be filled, but with what remains vague. This is about imagination and dream; the void, on the one hand dreamlike, invitingly open, free to fill, becomes the psychedelic, unclear world of pirates.
