You Invited Me, Don't You Remember ? / Self Service / My Name is Neo (for fifteen minutes)

Yan Duyvendak's performances are based on a play between TV or movie images and their impossible reproduction with the resources of live performance. In You Invited Me…, the artist uses sound tracks from films to call up that figure to whom the cinema, principally American, has given tangible substance: evil. In Self Service, Yan Duyvendak raises questions about the relationships between text and image: which of them creates meaning? Lastly, in My Name Is Leo…, the performer grapples with the final 15 minutes of a cult film with stunning special effetcs.
