RISK/RIESGO DVD

RISK DVD is a compilation of video shorts by Mexican and U.S. artists who participated in the book project RISK/RIESGO (Vol. 2, No. 3.) The works relate to the theme of risk – embodying a transgression, a gamble, a danger, a possibility.

TWO DISTINCT SHORTS PROGRAMS

The DVD contains two distinct programs entitled Pose for Me and Power Positions.

Program # 1 / Pose for Me includes 12 works that deal with portraiture, exposing something about oneself or someone else. The pieces involve performance and story telling, and often reveal a wish, desire, or a fear… playfully reworking ideas of spectacle, and beauty, and how we isolate ourselves in our own imagined worlds, alone in pain.

Program # 2 / Power Positions includes 15 works that look at power in the cunning and controlling hands of executioners, the police, or the media. This set of works also looks at death, not in a mischievous manner as depicted in Pose for Me, but as a site of manipulation and dominance. Danger is in the air.
