Book Synopsis
A Bullet for Buänuel: Fragments of a Failed Bullet documents Rick Myers'' attempt to complete a project begun by the late filmmaker Luis Buänuel: to create a bullet possessing such a weak charge that it would simply bounce off the filmmaker''s shirt when fired at him. Consulting with the estate and sources ranging from online forums for bullet makers to a ballistics lab associated with the United States Secret Service, Myers sought to make the bullet and fire it at a shirt that had been worn by Buänuel. While trying to bring this absurdist endeavor to completion, the artist was met with a colorful cast of characters and failures at almost every turn--Publisher website, accessed May 3, 2017.
