Inhaltsangabe

Product Description:American video artist Ellen Cantor mischievously re-edits footage of movie classics, porn, and private tapes, splicing together what the iron laws of media reality have neatly kept apart. In the late 1950s, when French director Louis Malle shot The Lovers, it was not possible to show sex scenes in movie theatres. Ellen Cantor has interspersed scenes from Malle's movie-lyrical black and white shots with porn footage luridly colourful and explicit to bring together both the physical and sentimental aspects of love that the media industry has so neatly divided up among two genres. She disrupts the corny sweetness of family romance in The Sound of Music with crudely brutal shots from horror movies mercilessly disrupting the sanctimonious imagery of the morally superior, loving, white nuclear family. My Perversion is the Belief in True Love is a witty, ironic, media-savvy picture book of stills from Cantor's video tapes. It invites you to peruse media images of love and sexuality and to examine your own susceptibility to their overwhelming power. Includes an essay by Matthew Yokobsky and an interview with Ellen Cantor by Gerald Matt.
