ALICIA NOVELLA VASQUEZ, The Book of Pleasure

SABINA MARIA VAN DER LINDEN, Perfectly you
The works present different approaches to the audio-visual media staged for a site-specifically built screening display in the spaces of the gymnasium in the common areas of the building. Uncontained suburban or domestic spleens, affective flipsides of the bourgeois unconscious and the forces of global finance, the pieces presented work with systems of power and oppression, cutting-up patriarchal representations and the contents that oozes out – desired or not.

JERK
2021 / 60 min
GISÈLE VIENNE
Vienne’s film Jerk (F, 2021) is based on her iconic 2008 solo theater piece, which toured internationally for twelve years. The film is set in Texas in the 1970s. It is drawn from the novel of the same name written by Dennis Cooper, which is inspired by serial killer Dean Corl’s killing of more than 20 boys while making ultra-violent snuff films with the help of the teenagers David Brooks and Wayne Henley. In Cooper’s fictional speculation, Corl makes his victim into monstrous puppets, in his desire to fully ‘’own’’ them. In their new lifeless shell, he turns them into somebody else, television actors he has lusted for.
During his life imprisonment, David Brooks, represented in the film by a schizo-phenomenal performance by Jonathan Capdevielle, becomes a puppeteer and creates a show in prison in which he reenacts the crimes with puppets for an experimental class of psychology students (the camera). Using the means of genre and horror film, Jerk takes the profound experience of mechanisms of violence to the extreme: a minimalist film on questions of power relations, incarnation, disembodiment, alienation, sexuality and death.
Content
warning: Jerk contains highly disturbing imagery, including graphic reenactments of sexual violence and murder. Please prioritize your well-being before viewing.
