Infected 2001 / 10' Director: Gina Czarnecki Choreographer: Iona Kewey Μοντάζ, επεξεργασία εικόνας / Editing, image processing: Roland Denning Performer: Iona Kewey Production: Metamedia productions, DMA projects, Arts Council of England Μεγάλη Βρετανία / United Kingdom Infected is a video about the nature of the physical body in the context of future technological possibilities, seen through dance and digitally manipulated imagery. The new bio-engineered body is still a sexual, stark, brutal, organic, pounding bloody system with ripping tendons. It is beautiful and repulsive, indulgent, curious, emotional, un / controlled, breeding, changing . Scotland-based Gina Czarnecki's films and installations have been exhibited widely across the UK and around the world. Gina's work is preoccupied with the reconstructing of material and the re-composition of video frames to question the illusion of the real. Infected continues her work around the visceral, biological and emotive body and its politics in relation to new technologies. This video is made in collaboration with Iona Kewney, a Glasgow based dance artist who has been working with Wim Vandekeybus's Ultima Vez. It features a specially commissioned score by Fennesz, whose computer-manipulations of sounds derived from guitar and other acoustic sources have won him worldwide acclaim. [ back to the list ]
