PROGRAM:
You Make Me
Feel So Good, 2007
(4"12)
Director: Juan Pablo Echeverri
Muñoz, Colombia.
|

|
You
make me feel so good, is a video-clip to a "reggaeton" song that
the
artist completed at Braziers International Artist Workshop in England
last year.
Since
the location of this Workshop was around a castle,
Echeverri decided to create a fairytale like scenery, dressed like Snow
White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, and singing along to this (very
fast), and cheesy song. The video was intended to be some sort of
dream or fantasy that he had ever since he started to plan the video
before he even got there, so it starts with him dressed like a man,
spinning like wonder woman changing into the Disney Princesses.

CODE
2007 (5' 20")
Director: Isidora Ilic, Serbia.
|
 |
Video art Code
is homage to Alain Resnais' film: Last Year in Marienbad. It questions
relation between language and empty spaces. The place witnesses the
identity and history but place is only a group of elements existing in
certain order. Walkers transform place into space by their presence and
movement. A word, like a place, is unidentifiable but in act of speech,
surrounded by different elements, it becomes multiply term and language
creates the meaning.

SBARA - 2007
(8´ 30")
Director: Larissa Sansour. Danmark/Palestina.
|
 |
Heavily
referencing the 1980 cult classic The Shining by Stanley Kubrick, the
video piece SBARA
explores the castigation of Arabs in contemporary
Western dialogue. By adding an audio montage combining historical and
current quotes on the Middle East to footage paraphrasing scenes from
the original film, SBARA seeks to expose the cyclical nature of Middle
Eastern rhetoric and policies and emphasize the psychological terror
inflicted upon those at the receiving end of this repetitively stagnant
political discourse.

"Not Yet" 2007
Annie Whiles

'I went
to Braziers with my dog Bob, who has just
celebrated his 119th Birthday in human years.
I wanted to make an allegorical film, using an emblematic structure of
people, like a Greek motif depicting notions of essential elements.
I worked with six men, considering them guardians of
the day, night and afterlife, symmetrically placed in
a drawing made of hay. I asked them to perform a
ritual that dissembled the drawing, which left Bob to
make his decisions.'

The
uncomfortable compulsion to get and do something
She walked back and for from braziers park to Oxford.
The question started with an uncomfortable feeling or compulsion to get
and do something… the answer…
…Valéne sometimes had the feeling that time had been
stopped, suspended, frozen around, he didn’t know what
expectation…
