A hollow product of unknown use floats in space like the monolith of 2001. Ads in other languages also strip products of desire: Soviet fashion is demonstrated in Cyrillic, phallic chocolates unwrap magically, and a product named 'Time' is sucked dry to a Japanese voiceover. Products become strange interlopers when they pop up in romantic movies of the Nazi period. For instance, footage of the Hitler youth with 'S' shirts performing a swastika is overlaid with an ad for 'Stabil'. The result is a distanced view of the link between desire and commodities.

The energy of the women in this short music clip, singing and exercising is a stark contrast to the inertia of the males around them.Īds for defunct and foreign products are interspersed with newsreel and documentary footage.

LeVeque states: 'Building on the notion of obsessive looking, I wanted to transform the original movie into a spinning mandala to generate a sensuous viewing where the dramatic narrative becomes unstable and elusive, a viewing experience where the hypnosis of cinematic spectacle is articulated to such a physical degree that it engenders a consciousness of watching.'Ĭommissioned by Olympic Co-ordination Authority Public Art Program. In LeVeque's treatment the layered plot line and psychological depths of the Hitchcock original are overtaken by the patterns and rhythms of the new aesthetic centrifuge. This is only evident when the video is examined frame by frame: played at normal speed the result is a stuttering kaleidoscopic engine that gives the viewer a nauseating yet thrilling sensation of physical and psychic weightlessness. The condensed film was duplicated four times, shifting the horizontal or vertical orientation of the frame with each duplication so that the first image is right side up, the next is sideways, then upside down, then sideways, and finally right side up again. In '4 Vertigo', Hitchcock's 128-minute feature film 'Vertigo' has been processed anew by capturing one frame for every two seconds of the original movie. LeVeque's works have featured at the New York Video Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, the 2000 Whitney Biennial and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Griffith's 1915 feature film is reversed and re-edited into a 13-minute phantasm. These include '2 Spellbound' (1999), a reworking of Alfred Hitchcock's 'Spellbound' (1945), and 'Backwards Birth of a Nation' (2000), in which D.W. Recently he has been making video works that use Hollywood classics as their starting point, transforming them into sensuous, hallucinatory works which aim to unveil the repressed representations that loiter inside so many 'wholesome' American classics. Les LeVeque is a New York-based artist who has produced a number of videos and video installations exploring the cultural implications of technological change. The interviews are framed by a traditional Japanese folktale, a magical and somewhat shocking narrative of a mother's search for her abducted daughter, kidnapped by a monster on the eve of her wedding. Many of the stories revolve around the relationships these grandmothers, mothers and daughters have with each other, filled with respect, rebellion, loss and love. In these stories one can begin to see, from very personal and individual perspectives, the societal changes that have occurred over the last three generations for women in Japan, bringing an exciting and often conflicting array of choices and positions. In 37 Stories About Leaving Home, a group of Japanese women living in the Tokyo area recount personal stories of their own experiences of leaving home. What remains is a speeded up frenzy of image, light and hardcore techno music as Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck flash before our eyes, subverting our own memory of the film into a hazy waking dream. Les Leveque takes Alfred Hitchcock's classic psychoanalysis and memory loss thriller and injects it with a large dose of adrenalin.
