Behold That Strawberry

I went to New York to shoot Behold that strawberry in a Bar in Queens. now its out! and it’s fantastic. Below and excerpt from dossierjournal.

Salome Oggenfuss and Sandra Isacsson have just put a version of their two channel video installation Behold that Strawberry up on their website.  Based loosely on Pasolini’s Salo, which itself is loosely based on the Marquis de Sade’s The 120 Days of Sodom, the film features four different dominatrixes in a bar in Queens recounting stories from their work and interacting with the bar’s patrons. The stories are recounted rather than reenacted and this gives the room the feel a giant confessional where people’s perversities are voiced without guilt or shame.  The bar seems to merge the room in Sartre’s No Exit with Sade’s mountain chateau: a sort of profane purgatory where the monotony is broken up by jokes, dramas, sex acts, contracts.
