Lube
description: you can see the movie at the bottom of the page Collection: Getty Research Institute, Long Beach Museum of Art Contemporary Video Archive, Los Angeles, California, USA Lube (1'35" - 1997) La caméra dans une intime proximité fait corps du profil en visage de Pierre Yves Clouin. "Autoportrait" d'une concentration qui précède l'action, cruciale dans l'expression d'une parole muette mobilisant les lèvres dans l'indicible, révélant l'abécédaire du regard recouvert par les paupières baissées et qui en dit long. Bruissement d'un échantillon cosmétique déchiré dans une rumeur hors champ. Portée de la main qui recouvre et caresse le crâne nu, l'enduisant d'un gel libératoire d'une toilette intime. Le visage de Pierre Yves Clouin subitement se détourne vers l'objectif, révélant également le haut du torse qui pivote sur lui-même. Halluciné, le regard de l'artisteincise nos pupilles par la pénétration de l'objectif. Il projette son crachat dans l'œil de la caméra déchargeant ainsi la tension d'un trop-plein d'amour, celui de notre aliénation commune à l'altérité et au manque.

We are positioned on the ground looking between the legs of a white man lying on his back wearing little more than sneakers and a white jockstrap. His right foot is briefly on view in the left fore-ground of the image. As it moves out of frame, the body repositions itself slightly so that a part of the man's shaven head is visible in the left background. He is apparently wearing a blue sweatshirt but, clued in by the title and the unusual and unchanging camera position, we know that it is his lower body.specifically his "cul " which will be our main object of attention.The man's hand reaches down the back of his right th…

Carnissus
description: you can see the movie at the bottom of the page Television broadcast: Switch 2, Atelier de recherche de la sept arte, arte 1999 Ger Zielinski Short, Quiet and Disturbing On Recent Video Work by Pierre Yves Clouin My first brush with Clouin was seeing his video MY LEVITATING BUTT (Cul en l'air) (1997), a sharp short that shoots from tle hip and reveals several of the artist's concerns. Butt is composed of a single shot containing now and then part of the artist's body. The work opens with the actor/artist apparendy lying on the floor for a few moments nearly naked, clad merely in a skimpy jockstrap. He then slaps his butt and begins to levitate, legs curled up and hidden from the camera, exposing only his back, subtly bobbing upwards and magically tansforming into what appears to be the giant head of a fully erect penis, eventually escaping out of the top of the screen. The image is centred, symmetrical, simple.The body is Platonic in its self discipline, its certainty, its athleticism, its lean, taut muscles, always a pleasure to uncover, to view. The movement of the body across the frame is forever steady, precise. Nothing wasted, nothing extraneous. The sound is raw, from the studio in which the tape was shot, apparendy unmanipulated and direct. Thematically, the work addresses vision and the gaze through framing devices and the male body, but the accent is equally on the male figure and the representation of gay male sexuality. These elements return in various combinations and balances in Clouin's more recent work. On his artistic practice Clouin notes, “Alone in front of the camera, and without word, I spy on myself in the monitor during the action. I am double: seer and seen." This excerpt captures and accurately accounts for several elements characterizing his work. In particular, the strong, successful play with framing is reminiscent of Warhol's provocative film Blow Job (1963) in which only an actor's face and upper body are in view. The putative offscreen …
