Chelsea Hotel No.2(en)

Da Corte found inspiration in Leonard Cohen's music, particularly the 1974 song "Chelsea Hotel #2," after which he named his breakthrough video in 2010. Filmed on a cellphone, Chelsea Hotel No. 2 takes place against a white backdrop that highlights the vibrant colors of random objects and foodstuffs Da Corte manipulates in front of the camera. His hands—covered in flour, ground coffee, sequins, packing tape, or aluminum foil—enter and exit the frame to perform a series of bizarre tasks. He stacks and presses slices of bread, squeezes purple dish soap into a neon green hamper, peels a banana with a gold hoop, rolls a calla lily into green bubble wrap, cuts bologna with large rusty scissors, and paints unripe cherries with red nail polish. We also see a gilded head of lettuce sprouting a rose on top of an overturned yellow basket and the fall of a standing broom and a blue chair as one of its legs is pulled out.

Hideo, It's Me, Mama(en)

HIDEO, It's Me, Mama is a psychological melodrama that introduces narrative and structural devices that are integral to Idemitsu's work. Exploring the flawed universe of the contemporary Japanese family, she focuses on a woman's identity as mother through mother-child and husband-wife relationships. Hideo, a young man living away from his parents, is kept under constant surveillance by his doting mother via an omnipresent television monitor. In a cogent metaphor for familial relations in the media-saturated culture of contemporary Japan, Mama can only communicate with her beloved, absent son through the video screen. Idemitsu's poignant irony is embodied in the scene in which Mama, blind to her husband's needs, caresses Hideo's video image. (Electronic Arts Intermix)

Suffering, horror and exhaustion lead the protagonist to a process of transformation, abyss and expiation, because only murdering to minotaur and everything he represents is possible to return to life. From the female gaze, it shows the depth of the emotional wounds caused by domestic violence; the same one that the surrealist Dora Maar lived and that ask why, as a society, instead of killing the minotaur, we blindly continue to send him women only to be devoured and ask them why they simply did not fight, why they did not try get out of the labyrinth.

Ravage(en)

While you wait to hear if they'll pay your claim, there is almost nothing like the silent buzz at the other end of the line. Or when you say something that requires a response and the world says back, "no worries". There's an art to miscommunication, unthinking, the void, and the customer service call. Phoning it in might just be a necessary part of life. This rough-edged sketch mixing performance art living and film is a study of the phone call, American doofiness, and blank minds under the reign of the corporate call script. Everyone is impotent in the institutional setting.
