Deadpan, Steve McQueen

Deadpan was the first critically-acclaimed videoart piece by British artist Steve McQueen. The work is from 1997, when McQueen was barely 30 years old. Reminiscent of a typcial Buster Keaton mise-en-scène, McQueen stages a deadpan humourous scene, where the house front collapses but leaves the figure mysteriously intact by leaving the door open.

Syndromes, Kristoffer Borgli

“I’m 26, I don’t feel the rush to make a feature film right now…but I really do want to make some short films.”
Kristoffer Borgli

Keep doing it Kristoffer, this was sublime!

Mourir auprès de toi, Spike Jonze & Simon Cahn

At night, when the bookseller goes to sleep, the characters from some of history’s greatest works do a little bed-hopping. Jonze voices Macbeth, a limber skeleton who unstitches himself from his cover and bounds over to the bed of Dracula‘s Mina (French singer Soko). He’s intercepted, though, by the vicious whale of Moby Dick, and the tough Mina risks her life to rescue her beau.

Body Press, Dan Graham

Body Press is a seminal piece of performance art with a mix of 8mm film incorporated into it. It was conceived by Dan Graham in 1970. Two filmmakers stand within a surrounding and completely mirrorized cylinder, body trunk stationary, hands holding and pressing a camera’s back-end flush to, while slowly rotating it about, the surface cylin-der of their individual bodies.
