POSSIBLE SPELLINGS OF INTIMICY, Cheb M. Kammerer (Israel)

Tribute to the artist Noa Sadka

Spelling her first name N-O-A, the artist was asked to associate with each letter an intimate concept related to her art. This video-portrait is a behind the scenes of a creative life with constant alertness of pain, and beyond that a statement of a certain feeling of disgust towards a big-headed art scene.

Sound Mix: Rafi Chen

All quoted text from: Noa Sadka’s book " Talking Parts "

SEEDS FOR GORSE, Alan Lambert (Ireland)

Tribute to the artist Doreen Kennedy

Doreen Kennedy as she makes a lot of 'joiner' photographs and I thought this would be nice to make a video homage to.

CREDITS : 'Seeds For Gorse' is a video tribute to photographer Doreen Kennedy working on a 'joiner' photography project on Sorrento Hill, overlooking Killiney Bay in Dublin, Ireland during summer of 2007. I have tried to mirror the joiner process in the compiling of the video piece, fragmenting the portrait of the artist and merging it with the environment and the work.

HANNAH W., | John Sanborn (USA)

Tribute to the artist Hannah W.

You never really know what’s happening until it’s over and you obtain distance.

I was young, younger than my years, and an older woman seduced me. She made me feel special although I was one of many. This confused me. We would go red hot and then talk as things cooled down. This confused me. She would explain her art, and her use of her body as an object, and this confused me. “aren’t women against being objectified?” I asked, confused. Well, she said, “only when it’s a man doing the objectification.” Now, I was totally confused. The more time we spent together, the more she taught me. About sex, about art and about how to shape the world to suit yourself. I worked for her, I played for her, and I was disposable. She took heat for her work, and her use of her sexuality to provoke and arouse. Like her idol, Duchamp, she twisted my understanding like a wet pretzel.

When she got sick, she refused to see me. “I don’t want you to remember me like this.”

No longer confused, but smarter by far, I understood. There are two sides to every coin, but there is only one coin.
