Von July, Miranda

Schräg, komisch, herzzerreißend, entwaffnend ehrlich: zehn Begegnungen nach dem Zufallsprinzip. Zehn Interviews, in denen die Schriftstellerin, Künstlerin und Filmemacherin Miranda July ebenso viel über sich selbst verrät wie über die Menschen, mit denen sie spricht.

Produktbeschreibung

July's work, whatever the medium, speaks to the complexities of desire, especially the tenuous bonds forged between people in extreme circumstances. While her videos, film, artwork, fiction, and online ventures have gained international recognition, she has also sought out local interactions with diverse audiences - as an artist-in-residence at a high school in Miami, Florida, for instance, and in her work with young girls in the internet project How Will I Know Her, created with Emma Hedditch. July currently lives in Los Angeles, and is working on her second feature-length movie. In this interview, she reflects on her formative conversations - both with herself and with others - and discusses her drive for bracing emotional honesty. July's work is often funny, but it is a dark, gallows humor, unafraid to confront death, perversion, loneliness, alienation, and emptiness. (In the first scene of Me and You, a man sets his own hand on fire.) The snowman's head may be a costume, but it is a mask that tells the truth. The snowman cannot last past winter; it is a reminder of fleeting existence and mortality.
