Artist Statement:
Exhibition and
screening of “1+2, a crappy
film in too many acts”, a
film-performance and its
subsequent photographs created
in London by Tintin Cooper
will be shown at Siam Art
Space, Bangkok this November.
1+2 comprises a
series of narrative
photographs, film and
performance telling the story
of the constant feud (and need
for equilibrium) between
husband-wife,
masculine-feminine and
yin-yang. An unrefined Middle
Eastern macho-man and a highly
volatile American blond bimbo
find new and inventive ways to
assault each other in this
slapstick black comedy (eg.
hitting one over the head with
a bottle, spitting an apple on
the other's face or jabbing a
fork in the other's eye).
Though 1+2 takes the style of
silent, black and white films,
it references many universal
and contemporary themes such
as domestic violence, love and
hate and more recently the
uncompromising struggle
between Western and Arab
cultures. 1+2 views the world
as a perilous and aggressive
place, which it audaciously
challenges with humour.
Tintin Cooper, an English-Thai
artist, has exhibited a
mixture of work including
installations, life-size
drawings, photos, spatial
constructions, animation and
film, throughout London,
Manchester, Glasgow...
