DEAF THROES [6:01 min]
Author: Per Teljer (Sverige) – Art video added: 25.10.2005 – Language: no sound (they are deaf)

FlatTV broadcasts the video “Deaf Throes” by Swedish artist Per Telje, now living and working in Berlin Germany.

Per Teljers comment on his project “South of Heaven” :

“The project South of Heaven, which was begun in autumn 2001, aims to bring together an as yet unknown number of self-contained video works. What all these works have in common (as the title suggests) is a particular view of, and reaction to, the collective and individual mental condition of the (western) world. In due course, these works will add up to a kind of spiritual odyssey.
South of Heaven, Chapter 1 (2003), the first of these independent videos, is a reaction to a society in which people live under constant pressure to prove themselves. In this society, egoism, indifference, nervous breakdown, heart failure, manic depression and self-abuse are the manifest building blocks of the temple we build as a place to worship ourselves”.
