I remember seeing the complete version at the 'Apocalypse' exhibition. Does anybody know if there has ever been or ever will be a release of the full version?
I see it almost as a reference to religion. When she drew blood the light looked at them and cast them down. I'm not religious but it does bring it to mind
from my interpretation i see this as cunningham demonstrating the act of sex as on par with or the same as the creation of the universe. whether that be the creation of life through sex or simply the act of sex (or the combining of flesh) as something that is as primordial and mysterious as the creation of the universe around us. in our society today sex has become mundane whereas this elevates sex back to the supramundane
A quick Google Videos search turns up a 12-minute version of the full-length video on a Russian video site. Other than that, not much else is available except this intro. Creepy even by short film standards.
I saw the full version on Roskilde, live by Chris Cunningham. Damn it is perfection. After this clip there is a long fight scene between those two with heavy dnb-music from Aphex Twin... i just wanna go back in time to that show.
@franzscissorhands I don't know for sure but but they look like an anamorpic lens flares. They can be done digitally these days rather than spending huge amounts on anamorphic lenses. search youtube for it, there's tutorials.
the most incredible thing about cunningham is that with videos like these, he shows us what synesthesia is like. this is probably due to the fact that he's working with aphex twin all the time. i'm sure aphex looks at a video in progress and says to chris, "yeah that's pretty much what that sound looks like to me."
Este video lo tengo en el DVD director series. Tambien se apreció en el Reinvention tour de Madonna 2004, mientras ella canta Frozen tomando un sentido algo sado-romantico si se pudiera usar ese termino.
Ho visto questo video per la prima volta alla Biennale di Venezia nel 2001..uno dei pochi lavori veramente interessanti per il quale mi è venuto in mente il termine Arte(come la intendo io perlomeno...)Ricordo che c'erano famigliole che scappavano terrorizzate nel vederlo...eheheh XD
This video is powerful-- I think of it as the violence in sex, the closeness and elasticity is overwhelming. I mean, it's not just about the violence in sex etc. etc., but that is what it is touching. It's like a wonderful depiction of a push-pull relationship in the closest quarters.
This is my interpretation of the video: The man and the woman is Adam and Eve and they are wrestling about. Adam gets hurt, God sees this and Adam pretends to make love to Eve. God is is not convinced and he vanishes them both from heaven. :P
Is this the whole video? Or is this a short version?
mate, I was there too - this was probably the best audio/visual experience I have EVER had. and I thought plaid's work the year before would be hard to beat!
that's a part of flex that's not in this excerpt unfortunately. the full thing runs for 17 minute loop and it's such a shame it has never been officially released on dvd in it's entirety.
I seem to remember seeing this in Basingstoke; there is a section missing. I recall because there is a close up of the man pulling back his foreskin, and they both fought again. Was this omitted because of offense to YouTube and/or its viewers; or is this how it came?
The version on the Director's Series DVD is an excerpt that is approx 1 min long. How did you obtain this?
@happyendy the full lenght Flex video is hard to get. Have an idea how to? I saw it once at Elektra festival in Montreal a few years ago, did research to buy a dvd but ..
i saw the full version in venice a few years back. have been looking for it for quite some time. horror indeed. it's about relationships, i think...the worst horror of them all;)
ah oh. Uwielbiam tę realizację. Kapitalne zdjęcia! DO czego zawsze ogromną wagę przywiązuje Chris, ale oczywiście montaż i cała reszta równie fenomenalna.
całej nie widziałem.. ale racja, też miałem wrażenie, że to opowiada o zwierzęcej naturze, czy biologicznych fundamentach i prawach nami rządzących.. walka, zmaganie etc etc, światło genialnie opisuje ciało w tym filmie. Gdzie jest cała?
he always keep the concept in his clip, the "twin" concept
