From the organizer: In this event, Michelle Handelman, filmmaker and artist from New York, will present to the audience her two last projects, Irma Verp, The Last Breath’ and ‘Dorian, A Cinematic Perfume”, and also about the new work that she is going to shoot in Sa Dec called ‘Hustlers and Empires’.
About DORIAN, A CINEMATIC PERFUME:
Dorian, a cinematic perfume (2009/11) is based on Oscar Wilde’s 19th century novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray and its themes of decadence, narcissism and the meaning of art. Presented as a non-linear narrative on four screens, Handelman has interpreted the story and its queer undertones by featuring a cast of queer musicians and performers that inscribes a new form a narrative – hypnotic, dense, phantasmagorical and raw. She has cast Dorian as a young woman discovered by a fashion photographer who falls under the tutelage of an infamous drag queen and becomes a nightclub luminary, constantly followed by the paparazzi. These media images become the infamous portrait, grotesquely mutating as she grows more beautiful and famous.

About MICHELLE HANDELMAN:
Michelle Handelman uses video, live performance and photography to make confrontational works that explore the sublime in its various forms of excess and nothingness.
“My work can be best described by theorist Helene Cixous’ ideas of Visceral Feminism: aggressively traversing the corporeal landscape in its various forms of excess and undress, while simultaneously giving it up for the viewer in an overflow of visual and psychological sensations.”, Michelle Handelman.
