I've Never

Created for Shu Lea Cheang's collaborative.
"Those Fluttering Objects of Desire," installation for the 1993 Whitney Biennial.
​

Video Installation of live video captured on layerd paper feed with electronic music and text overlay. Photographs below are silver hallide prints of particularly stunning and mysterious overlay images from the video feed.

​​"I'VE NEVER" created for the video installation "Those Fluttering Objects of Desire: coin operated joint installation," produced by Shu Lea Cheang. Original text, and music by Pamela Jennings. Additional read text is from Anais Nin "Delta of Venus: Erotica, and an academic paper on the sexualization of the black female body (the author of which was not originally cited). The improvisational movement is performed by Pamela Jennings and Jan Vanderlinden.
​​"I'VE NEVER" is about touch -- bringing someone close while also pushing them away as llustrated by Tai Chi push hands. The base text examines a graphic description of a racist sexualization of the black and white female bodies by Anais Nin and an academic paper written about the late 19th century grotesque sexual stereotyping of the black female body, particularly the "hottentot venus." Simultaneously, the spoken poems which surround this text speaks of an experience of dealing with being the other as two bodies grapple with their mutual attraction.
