Shot opportunistically on the set of Jesús Franco’s Count Dracula, Pere Portabella’s parasite film shows us what images are doing to us, and how much we can do with them, given the ample ingredients of a well-known cinematic typology. A landmark of Spanish anti-establishment experimental cinema of the ‘60s and ‘70s, the film is, in Portabella’s own words, 'a film within a film, a discourse within a discourse, in other words, a ‘bloodsucking film’ of another.' Filmed provocatively in 16mm with sound negative, Cuadecuc, vampir simultaneously reveals and revels in the strange 'fantasmatic materialism' inherent in both the constructive mechanisms of magic in mainstream narrative cinema, and that of clandestine politico-aesthetic strategies employed by avant-garde filmmakers under the Franco regime.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
