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”.

Gallery Asbaek wrote about this video:
This video is a chilling visit to an old ghost house.
The house which used to be a well known big marxist commune in the 70′es (called “Smiling Suzy” from the title of a pop song) is now abandoned, after the demise of the commune and has completely fallen apart. (more…)

MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER [8:31 min]
Author: Sonja Lillebæk Christensen – Art video added: 26.03.2003 – Language; danish with english subtitles

FlatTV broadcast the artvideo “Mother like daughter” by artist  Sonja Lillebæk Christensen (DK). The video is the third broadcast, under the “psychodocumentary” theme on FlatTV.

Sonja Lillebæk Christensen’s comment :

“Mother like daughter” is

Mor som datter består af to sammensatte halvfigursportrætter af to kvinder, som tilhører to forskellige generationer. Billedet til venstre viser moderen, Sonja Lillebæk Christensen født i 1944, siddende i sin stue omgivet af familieportrætter, pyntegenstande og andet, der repræsenterer hendes generation.

Billedet til højre viser datteren, Sonja Lillebæk Christensen født 1972. Hun sidder ligeledes i sin stue omgivet af legetøj (børn i huset), møbler og genstande, der afspejler en yngre generation.

Mor og datter sidder og fortæller skiftevis om episoder fra deres liv. Historierne minder til forveksling om hinanden, og der opstår tvivl om, hvorvidt de genfortæller deres egen version af samme historie, eller hvad…

Forvirringen vokser, da både moderens og datterens beretninger åbenlyst ikke omhandler den generation, de hver især tilhører. Forvirret og skeptisk mistænker man dem for at have påtaget sig hinandens identitet.

Forbyttelsen og forvirringen giver nogle meget humoristiske scener.

Videoen rykker/piller ved den “nye” generations selvopfattelse, og sår tvivl om hvorvidt man overhovedet er nået det længere end ens forældres generation?

Videoen sandsynliggør, hvordan man gennemlever mange af de samme problemstillinger, som ens forældre har stået over for, og hvordan ens egen måde at reagere på, ofte bare er en gentagelse.

Mvh.
