Sorry to come in a bit late on this but can anyone identify a video I saw in
a Gallery in Oslo some years ago?
It was on this theme and it indelibly stuck in my head because it's painful
viewing. But I did not remember the name of the artist or film.
The artist (presumably) with a camera goes out onto the street and chats up
a man and invites him to her apartment, where she
persuades hm to dance for her and take off his teeshirt and then she tells
him she's bored and he should leave. It takes 20 mins or something
And it's for real, and she plays it so well, really nice and incremental so
when it becomes unbearable before it's possible to stop...
urgh it gives me the creeps just thinking about it. I would love to find out
what it was. I think the artist was Norwegian. I've probably remembered it
all wrong too.
Any ideas? Sorry that's a bit random isn't it.
