Copenhagen Art Fair- Stalke Out Of Space no: 35

22.09.2006 - 24.09.2006
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.
