fig.: Andres Laracuente “Dr. Popper” 2006 DVD 45 min (presented by Yukiko Kawase Gallery - 2): In “Dr. Popper”, Laracuente “drops in” and “plays” as a model in a film produced by a balloon popping fetish man encountered via an internet site: Craig’s List.

Laracuente, born 1982 Texas, demonstrates exhibitionist qualities and is often his own performer in his video/photography. He explores how materials or images from popular culture become internalized by us. What was first: the form or the idea? He works intuitively and conceptually and prefers the "strange" like dropping in on unexpected places and spaces. more culture >>>
