Lover Other (Barbara Hammer, 2006)Self portrait in four hands: Emotional performativity
Barbara Hammer in conversation with Virginia Villaplana
Thursday, 15 December 2011
Palau de la Virreina, La Rambla 99, Barcelona

18h, screening of Tender Fictions (1995, 50min, V.O.S.)
19h, conversation and screening of Lover Other: The Story of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore (2006, 55 min, V.O.S.)

The relationship between Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore calls into question the unique "I" of a portrait built in collaboration with four hands. The uniqueness of the couple’s work resides in a performative creativity embedded in everyday life, which, to some extend, can be interpreted as an intimate game. This session addresses ways of understanding art as "emotional politics" in relation to privacy and the spaces of everyday action. The session with Barbara Hammer is presented in a dialog format with Virginia Villaplana, based on the drifts of the intimacy narratives, the emotional politic and the self-representation of lesbian identities in the experimental cinema.
