Patriotic revolves around passages from the controversial Patriot Act, which was ratified by the US Congress after 09/11. Together with the French artist Pascal Lièvre – who previously used president Bush’s speech on the 'Axis of Evil' as the starting point for making a superkitsch music video – he chose passages from the bill that extensively dealt with the safety of the United States and the struggle against the archenemy: terrorism. This collaboration resulted in a sugary-sweet, many-voiced ode to the US, with a clear homo-erotic ring to it. Patriotic teems with bombastic, graphically represented rhetoric and singing soldiers in bogus uniforms. I am a Boyband BN Ramsay: I am a Boyband What are the ingredients for a real boyband - a cute tune, dance moves and of course 4 handsome hunks, each with their own look... A cloned boyband co-opts an Elizabethan madrigal to express its heartbreak over tost love.

Android 207 P. Whittington: Android 2007 A stop-motion animated film about an Android trapped inside of a large maze. The maze is vast and filled with many surprises. A complex labyrinth consisting of traps, deceptions, and puzzles. Even 207, a sophisticated android, becomes overwhelmed by confusion and frustration as it struggles to navigate through the twisted maze of white walled corridors having no idea what fate awaits it around each and every corner. Sex and Sadness (Part 3)Part Three shows the face of the woman from Part One with text rolling vertically over the screen, accompanied by music. The text is the script for a film and gives the context for the two previous scenes. The feet on the pillow next to the man turn out to be those of the woman; she is telling him her story. The script is about 'sex and sadness’, a person's ultimate loneliness, the incapacity to truly bond, and the desire to, the tragedy of life. A film that was never made as reported at the end, but nevertheless plays out again and again. Sex and Sadness (Part 2) Sex and Sadness (Part 2) In Part Two we see a man lying on a bed, with only his head on screen, and a woman’s two feet next to him. Only when the man blinks his eyes do we realise that we are not watching an image frozen in time, and he touches the woman's toes once in an effort to make contact. His silent thoughts are visualised by written text. Depressing thoughts, of powerlessness, misfortune and loneliness. Sex and Sadness (Part 1) Sex and Sadness (Part 1) A five-part production, out of which three parts being shown. In Part One we see the face of a woman, almost motionless, telling the sad tale of her life in an unfamiliar language. Every so often we see a man sitting on the edge of a bed. Sex and death are linked together in her story again and again and form the leitmotiv in her life. Elaine CryingWhile watching a scene from The Graduate, the artist tries to understand his absurd desire to watch woman cry. The Paper Wall Nick, Sheila Pye: The Paper Wall Nick and Sheila Pye primarily work with video and photography, their projects explore themes of intimacy and emotional interdependence. In their ten-minute video titled 'The Paper Wall', a thin division stands between two characters in separate bedrooms. The two protagonists - played by the artists – use nonverbal communication of fear and desire. They grow increasingly dependant on one another while performing a series of choreographed gestures that include basic bodily functions such as breathing and urinating. The silent characters in the Pyes' moody, erotic video open the work to several potential narratives. |
