JESPER JUST: BLISS AND HEAVEN. 2004, 7:42
Bliss and Heaven draws on the visual language and high production values of cinema, to depict a charged encounter between two men. A young man watching a driver disappear into the back of his truck decides to follow him. As the camera follows too, we are transported into a theatre, to see the older man dressed in a blonde wig singing centre stage. The dynamic between the two shifts, their apparent age difference transcended through an emotional tension. Just’s work subverts stereotypical image of men, creating suggestive yet enigmatic situations where characters are unafraid to express their emotions.
