ARTWORKS

lch Bin 36
JAN PETERS (GERMANY 2004, VIDEO, 4:14 MIN)

Stupid Coalescing Becomers
DANIEL COCKBURN (CANADA 2003, VIDEO, 2:31 MIN)
“If it were up to you, asses would eat their own shit, crash­ landings would spit planes back up into the sky, and parents would fuck their children back into the
womb.” A moral diatribe in favour of cause and effect.

Preserving Cultural Traditions in a Period of lnstability

Self Titled Debut

Untitled 
JOHANN LURF (AUSTRIA 2003, VIDEO, 3:00 MIN)

Fast Film
VIRGIL WIDRICH (AUSTRIA 2003, 35MM, 14:00 MIN)
On its surface, Fası Film tells a simple story: a woman is kidnapped and the man sets off to save her. The catch is that all its scenes were l tken from 300 different works produced in the course of film history.

States of the Union

These two videos seek out the essential character of American presidents. Part I: Bill Clinton. Part II: George W. Bush.

Metronome
DANIEL COCKBURN (CANADA 2002, VIDEO, 10:40 MIN)
Using rapid-fire voiceover and the polyrhythms of Hollywood to provide a guided tour of preset looped imaginings, Metronome sets out to prove that it’s easier than you might think to keep the same beat all day. Pass -the-god-damn-butter.
