In his works, the video artist Bjørn Melhus touches our time’s most current themes: the loss of personal identity in a world of technical images and the horror vision of computer generated perfect and sexless humans. Despite these serious issues, Bjørn Melhus performs with humor and irony, triggering laughter by dealing in a playful way with the world of images and sounds created by commercial media. Being trained in the production techniques of film and television, all roles are played by Melhus himself, creating a trivial and at the same time horrific world of twins and doubles.
Includes a CD-ROM.
