MELHUS
6
- 20 September 2005
The
short film, No Sunshine by Bjřrn Melhus,
takes us into the German artist's peculiar futurist
universe, revealing his passionate love for film,
television and music. Melhus's five-and-half minute
video is a musical work in which the artist explores
the desire to connect between different people
and generations.
Full of humour and irony, the film takes as its
theme loss of identity in a world of technological
images in which human beings are created, seemingly
perfect "clones" that are, however,
incapable of dialogue or communication. In line
with his other films, Melhus takes the lead role
in No Sunshine, as well as playing all
supporting roles. Indeed, Melhus generally writes,
records, directs and produces all his films, as
well as taking care of sound and characterisation.
This peculiarity helps to reinforce the vision
of a clone-like nature present in today's society
which Melhus seeks to transmit.
Works
by Bjřrn Melhus (Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, 1966)
have been shown at such art centres as the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the Kunsthalle in Bremen
and the Serpentine Gallery in London. In Spain,
Fundación "la Caixa" and the Centro
Galego de Arte Contemporánea are amongst the centres
that have recently staged showings of his works.
CAC Málaga acquired the DVD No Sunshine at the
latest Arco International Art Fair.
