| 关于此艺术家 | |
Over the past few years I have been using video to setup up performative situations, which lie in a place between fiction/reality and the art/non-art worlds. I have been looking at peoples understanding and perception of mainstream and popular culture, in order to understand who and what globally holds power over the mainstream and therefore is capable of effecting change. I am interested in the translation of information, which occurs between cultures, sub-cultures and classes and in how information is read once it crosses over. Focusing on individuals, who metaphorically stand in for a broader public, I invite participants to interpret and perform roles, which are foreign yet familiar to them, thus bringing out their clichéd perception and understanding of individuals and events. Combining an individual’s reality with a ‘fictional’ role, a fictional documentary occurs, which refers back to the participant, and in the end speaks more about the participant’s standpoint then what they are trying to emulate. I purposely use roles or personas that everyone is able to identify with and which at the moment of production hold mainstream power in an attempt to momentarily understand the effect of the fleeting phenomenon. |

| In November 2004, shortly after the Americans elections, I placed an ad in Berlin’s English
newspaper, the Exberliner, which read – “Artist looking for Americans who left the US because
of current politics.” Four anti-Bush Americans responded to the ad. After conducting long
interviews about their political views, they were asked to take on the role of a republican in
front of the camera. What results in the four-channel video installation is their understanding
and perception (often clichéd) of republican voters. |

BRITNEY: STILL ME

|
| In Britney: Still Me, a Britney Spears fan mimics her idol by singing, dancing and talking to us about herself and her career. In a dimly lit black space with only a spotlight following her, “Britney” sings and dances to eight of Spears’ songs, for which her dress and dance style are based on Spears’ most sexy and provocative video to date, I’m a Slave for You. The dancing is interjected with clips of “Britney” in a brightly lit white background dressed to imitate Spears’ recent high fashion shoot for W magazine, in which she is styled as a supermodel, leaving behind her young girl image. In this shoot “Britney” talks to us about her connection to the music industry, to what extent she has control over her career, the effects of her new image and where she sees herself going in the near future. The last shoot consists of “Britney” dancing with two male “dancers” in a pink room. The dancers are dressed in street/club clothes and she is dressed in a pink satin dress mimicking what she wore on the cover of W magazine and also referencing the dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and by Madonna in her Material Girl video. Dispersed throughout the video are shots of “Britney” around town filmed to look like paparazzi shots. |

| Interview with Frau Krause, is an interview with the former secretary of KUNST-WERKE BERLIN, Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin. The interview is on art and her opinions about it after working at this institution for approximately two years. Marlies Krause covers various genre of art without speaking about one artist in particular. Having had very little prier exposure to contemporary art her views have been mainly formed at working for this institution, where she sees many of the art worlds ‘stars’ pass through. |
