Paul Chan: Shadow Art

I saw this in Western Denmark a few months ago. Warning: it is disturbing! Paul Chan's video Sade for Sade's Sake, 2009, consists of naked humanoid figures copulating without any sign of affection and with mechanical movements. Their simple contours elevate the characters' sexual activities to a higher symbolic and poetic level compared to ordinary pornography films.
