Second Room of
Unlearning
This ‘second dream within a dream’ of our “Young Black Man As An Artist”
continues the intricate journey of self-discovery through lessons imparted by
others upon our protagonist. Having grown in a symbolic sense of the previous
character we encountered in First Room Of Mis-Education, this is a document of
his sojourn in a room full of book, with a retired Astronomy Lecturer who in
his absurd way teaches our artist about life, history and the nature of the
universe.
The retired Astrophysicist imparts volumes of information to a seeming
absent yet omnipresent voyeur looking into the professor’s psyche. The film
concludes with thoughts from our protagonist, in a sequence shrouded in its own
mystery that also brings closure to his excursion through rural landscapes of
his sleep.
