Luiz Roque, Modern (2014) 16mm transfer to video, 4 mins.

Attracted by the power of image, in particular, sensations that stem from vision, Luiz Roque’s work traverses the genre of science fiction, the legacy of Modernism, pop culture and queer bio-politics, in order to propose and understand visually sensual narratives. Modern (2014) departs from an exploration of Henry Moore’s Recumbant Figure (1938) in dialogue with the fashion appeal of the performance artist Leigh Bowery; a key figure in the London club culture between the 1980s and 1990s. The film considers binary notions of stillness and dance, history and future, reflecting on Roque’s interest in the relationships between body, choreography and gender with the legacy of modern sculpture.

Nella sala di lettura dell'inferno

Nella sala di lettura dell'inferno   Nel club degli amanti della fantascienza Nei cortili coperti di brina   Nei dormitori di transito Nelle strade di ghiaccio   Quando ormai tutto sembra più chiaro E ogni istante è migliore e meno importante Con una sigaretta in bocca e con la paura Talvolta gli occhi verdi   E 26 anni   Un servitore

- Roberto Bolaño
