Horowitz and Bradley at Yvon Lambert: Video Projections of Self and Other
From March 24 to May 5, 2001, galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris showcases video art by American creators Jonathan Horowitz and Slater Bradley. Their works delve into themes of voyeurism, projection, and internalization. Horowitz's piece "Talking without thinking" (2001) channels the essence of Marilyn Monroe, while Bradley's "Every person leaves a quiet place to think" combines a love letter with beach visuals. In "Female Gargoyle," he presents a Cassavetes-inspired video of a woman perched on a ledge. His "Trompe le monde" explores identity through a lookalike in his home. Horowitz critiques Julia Roberts' film career in "Best actress," and "Lun.-dim." features a daily recording of the day's name. "Reap the Wild Wind" critiques consumerist television through soap operas and random fruit imagery.
