Colour Bars

2004 • 8 min

The colour bars ordinarily form a constant test signal image that is used to calibrate video equipment. Here the configuration of the seven vertical stripes continually shifts. The rapid pace with which the piece cuts produces different kinds of colour mixing, and in the video's flickering the phased fields of stripes appear to dart in all sorts of directions.

Heaven in a Garden

2004 • 60 min • France

Focused on his neighbours, Le Ciel dans un jardin continues the conversation, begun with the previous film, which is imbued with melancholy in the face of the impossibility of returning. This future mourning gives a particular colour to his observation, a combination of indifference (the repetition of the days governed by the principle of subsistence) and acuity (the contemplation of small things and of lost moments). The value of the shots finds itself enhanced, from the tactile close-up that captures the elementary actions—cultivating, eating, smoking—to the widest frame, espousing with a final gaze the frontiers of world that is about to be incorporated by the filmmaker as an interior landscape, a mental object. - Emmanuel Chicon

Okinawa Graveyard Club

2004 • 6 min

Captured in black and white, Chikako Yamashiro is in tennis wear dancing in frenzied fashion to club beats in front of a tombstone in broad daylight. As her miniskirt gleams in the dazzling sunlight, a sun visor casts a dark shadow over her face. The video bursts with a vitality that seems to brazenly declare "I will embrace even conflict and wounds and dead, and live with them all."

Album

2004 • 24 min

Album also represents a further step on a path Müller set off on several years ago: away from festivals and toward the art market. Album does not have a linear narrative, but is instead conceived as a loop and is shown primarily in the gallery and museum context. Even though Müller still has one foot in the short film scene, his video works have moved him step by step closer to the world of the fine arts.

Inochi

2004 • 1 min • Japan

You may know his artwork from Kanye West’s newest album Graduation or Murakami’s most recent venture with Louis Vuitton (both of which are showcased at his retrospective currently at the MOCA, going insofar as having a Vuitton store within the exhibit.) but what you should know Murakami for is his sculpture and video work. Rarely does one have the pleasure of seeing a video so provocatively strange to the point of being borderline disturbing, while simultaneously being extremely hilarious, and remarkably well made.

United States of Afghanistan

2004 • 58 min

A "dogumentary", made according to Lars von Trier's Dogme rules for documentaries. Completely unprepared Pål Hollender and his friend-with-a-death-wish, Swedish pop star Olle Ljungström, went to Afghanistan, wrecklessly diving into the tension building up in September 2002, the anniversary of 9/11 approaching. The result is a series of visually strong and intimate scenes from Afghanistan. The disturbing ignorance of the two friends from Sweden is as relevant as the meeting with the Afghan people and their culture.
