FAKE FUCK
For the Copenhagen Alternative Artfair, Bella Angora and Christian
Falsnaes have created a videoinstallation dealing with the concept of
fake using the title ”fake fuck” as starting point. The two artists
have each produced a video on the basis of the same theme. Each video
is based on the title, both have three different parts and both are
formally using a song that each artist wrote for this purpose as
foundation. Both Bella Angora and Christian Falsnaes have given a
personal interpretation of the title. In the final installation, these
two interpretations are brought together in a united form where each
video has its own space.
”Fake” relates to something that pretends to be something it is not,
something that is false and deceives the recipient. “Fuck” is a word
with several meanings both containing references to sexuality,
controversy and frustration. At first, the conjunction of these words
makes one think of a fake orgasm, but this metaphor needs to be
expanded to include the whole system of social and cultural norms,
conceptions and communication in order to give the video installation
“fake fuck” complete meaning. This piece is the two artists’ personal
account on how it is to be a human being in a media-based society 2006.
At the opening of the Copenhagen Alternative Artfair 22nd of September,
Bella Angora and Christian Falsnaes will perform a new
performance-piece “Sample” that is a conjunction or a “medley” of old
performances and new elements. It can be seen as the artists’ copy of
themselves.
