Abstract male: Werner Hirsch
Abstract female: Arantxa Martinez

Starring a gender-queer duo miming the words to the song ‚Her Story’ from the New-Wave band ‚Flying Lizards’, the video clip contextualizes their lyrics on the economics of love within the history of sexuality and imperialism. It is set amongst the foliage of a 19th century botanical garden in a commentary on colonialism with its focus on money and desire and its obsession of the ‚other’ and male/female coding. Thus the video also references the Avantgarde filmmaker Jack Smith in a queer appropriation of gender and the exotic.
