KING LOST HIS TOOTH pays subversive homage to the oeuvre of Brion Gysin, who, along with William S. Burroughs, invented the 'cut-up' consisting of haphazard assemblage of words and phrases cut from a given paragraph. The first part of the video follows the classic 'cut-up' technique and for the second part, a new maneuver was applied: shuffling letters within words, creating different sentences where nonsense and new meanings emerge through random or intentional syntax formations.
