*Finissage* of Reality Manifestos - Can Dialectics Break Bricks? / A study
of détournement as Art Forms
*Public Interview with Hans Scheirl*
Technologies of Avant-garde Queer Cinema
moderated by Dimitrina Sevova, curator of the exhibition

There are many remarkable filmmakers in the history of avant-garde cinema.
But few are those who have completely changed our perception about the
cinema material and its aesthetic and political potential as a means of
fighting the clarity and purity of the production, reproduction and
circulation of images with unconventional passion. Among them Jack Smith,
who during the 1960s introduced a new language transgressing the lenses of
the ideological machine and its signified reality using self-exoticizing,
orientalizing and other camp devices; and Hans Scheirl who since the 1980s
went even further in destabilizing and distorting the economy of image
construction to trash the coding and ordering apparatus of what is termed
normal behavior, the oppressive norms and control of a schizophrenic
consumerist capitalism, and gives the images a new material mode of
existence. His cyborg protagonists go beyond good and evil with their
polymorphly perverse appropriation of the technologies of image production,
cutting up the totality of hegemonic representation and bending the
polarized world system, normative patterns of behavior and the
representative theater of oedipal power. They ruin the image of accepted
subjective formations in order to open up a utopian horizon to a possible
existence in relentless invention, driven by boundless flaming desiring
machines beyond the confining formulas framing and producing our reality.

*Hans Scheirl*
Born "Angela Scheirl" 1956 in Salzburg, Austria. While studying at the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (1975-80) Scheirl began to make super-8
films. 1981-82 s/he worked for Arleen Schloss' regular performance event
"Wednesdays at A's" in N.Y.C. and started to do performances. Until 1998
Scheirl made more than 50 films in different formats, all of which
challenge norms of sexuality and gender identity in a performative way.
Best known are the two feature-films "Rote Ohren fetzen durch Asche"
("Flaming Ears") (1991) (co-directors: U. Pürrer + D. Schipek) and "Dandy
Dust" (1998). 1996 Scheirl took on a transgender identity. He lived in
London for 16 years where he completed an M.A. course in Fine Arts at Saint
Martins College of Art + Design in 2003. Since 2006 he is professor for
"Contextual Painting" at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
