NATURE SPEAKS TO SELF. ONLY.
Video, 8 mins, 2017.
NATURE SPEAKS TO SELF. ONLY. appropriates two consecutive roles by Keir Dullea, the actor known for his portrayal of the astronaut David Bowman in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Dullea as astronaut gets to peek at himself in his following film role, as the Marquis de Sade in De Sade (1969).
From sophisticated Sci-Fi to period erotic drama, both films are noted for their psychedelic sensibilities and fit into the category of fantasy film. The two Keirs become entangled in a logic of pleasure and guilt, voyeurism and the performance of the self – much as it exists in today’s pervasive online consciousness.
