Fervid Flipbook

Posted: March 17, 2008 · Comments: Comments Off

Fervid Flipbook (10sec, 2008) pokes fun at the stereotypical imagery and predictable body-fascism found in a pile of old gay porn magazines of the 80s. Pornography is often somewhat lacking in humour itself, though there’s plenty of humour to be found.

A 10-second video produced/directed by me and Robbie MacEwan for a project run by the Tape Projects artist run initiative in 2008. Videos by various video artists are printed out as flipbooks to go with a 12″ record of locked grooves created by various sound artists.

Sound is by DJ Rainbow Ejaculation (Rank Sinatra / Victime de Mode / 7U? etc.) – “Carpet Cleaning Professionals”.

The Lock Groove Flip Book set was exhibited at the This Is Not Art festival in Sept/Oct 2008. Read a review by Dan MacKinlay of this amongst other shows, over at RealTime.

Still from "Snap!"

Snap! (1 min, 2004). Two ladies playing cards find their cards come to life, leading to a diva-off between the two pairs of femme Queens. Features the marvellous marker-pen portraits of unique women un-dressed-up in their own private environs by Arlene Textaqueen

From Acmi.net.au: “Arlene TextaQueen uses the marvellous medium of felt-tip marker to create Textanudes: portraits of unique women un-dressed-up in their own private environs. With the collaboration of video maestra Anna Helme, Snap! brings to life her felt-tipped friends for the first time when a game of Textanude cards deals out more than expected to its lovely live players. The intimate illustrations are re-con-texta-ualised in their interactions with the actress’s colourful characterisations, playing with caricature across media to a comedic conclusion.”

This is a longer version than the one we made for the SBS TV / ACMI ARTV project, which was commissioned as a 30 second filler for in-between programs.
