The video deals with making art out of the immediate and close at hand, as home sweet home can serve as fireworks for perception, as hideaway for desire, love and sex and the backyard garden for everything utopian and ideal. The authors themselves give a tour through the image events and ask themselves: Where are we coming from? Where are we going? And. What are we doing here?<\/p>\n
\nArtistic Statement: We work in the media of video, installation (video, sound, light, photography), performance and music. The various fields of these different media and themes influence and interact with each other. We work as a pair, alone, in changing formations and with Les Reines Prochaines<\/a>. We are inspired by the physical and philosophical, the everyday, the mythological, the absurd, as well as cultural history.

\nMy Heart The Rock Star is a short experimental video about teenage identification with rock icon (Patti Smith.) Identification in this case is seen as a form of resistance to social constraints and the space of radical openness represented by the female Rock Star offers multiple lines of flight for the imagination of the young fan. Produced as part of the “My Heart\u2026” collaborative series by Nikki Forrest, Nelson Henricks and Annie Martin. The artists wish to thank “The Canada Council for The Arts” and “The Conseil des art et des lettres du Quebec” for their support.<\/p>\nSTATIC: Nikki Forrest<\/h4>\n

\nA series of dreamlike images evoke the shifting, permeable line between public and private space. Queer identity continuously disintegrates and reconfigures against the background noise of homophobia. The images move from the inner space of dreams through intimate domestic scenes, out onto the public spaces of subway stations and street corners and finally to the city skyline seen from across a body of water.<\/p>\nDarling Nikki: Barbara Naegelin (with thanks to Prince)<\/h4>\n

\nA music-clip and a grubby homevideo. There is a minimal setting: a chair in a corner of an appartment, an androgynous outfit and a cd-player. An uncombed protagonist figures a sexy popstar and sings along the song of Prince. In a slightly acclerated mode the person lets herself go into a self-ironic teenage-phantasy. (probably an anticipation of a youtube-fantasy)<\/p>\n19x Barefoot: Christoph Oertli<\/h4>\n

\nIn this piece the performer is linked with a mobile camera via a nylon thread. Each of his gestures pulls the camera sideways and animates his image. A strange dance develops which throws the performer off-centre or even out of sight. His appearance on stage is undermined by his own effort. Each impulse to act threatens his position in the spotlight. Performer: Christoph Oertli
