kino raum 3 -- ziegelstrasse 20 -- 10119 berlin -- http://bootlab.org/raum3/ ________________________________________________________________________________ Raum 3 presents Performing the Border and a preview of Remote Sensing with Ursula Biemann in person to take questions + Drinks and Bytes! Donnerstag, 1. November 2001 Raum 3, Ziegelstrasse 23, 10119 Berlin http://bootlab.org/raum3 Eintritt: DM 5,- 20.00 Uhr: Performing the Border (43 min) 1999 A video essay set in the Mexican-US border town Ciudad Juarez, where the US industries assemble their digital equipment, located right across from El Paso, Texas. Performing the Border looks at the border as both a discursive and a material space constituted through the performance of gender and the management of these gender relations. The video discusses the sexualisation of the border region through labor division, prostitution, the entertainment industry, and sexual violence in the public sphere. Lumpenvision netcast at http://www.lumpen.com 21.00 Uhr: Remote Sensing (54 min) Preview Spiralling down from an orbital view captured by image satellites, the video-essay takes an earthly perspective on cross-border circuits, where women have emerged as key actors. Remote Sensing traces the routes and reasons of women who travel across the globe for work in the sex industry. Voluntarily or not, women are displaced in great numbers from Manila to Nigeria, from Burma to Thailand, from Bulgaria to Europe: female bodies in the flow of global capitalism. The highly digital documents generated for this video link new geographic technologies to the sexualization and displacement of women on a global scale. Using the latest images from NASA satellites, the video investigates the consequences of the U.S. military presence in South East Asia as well as the European migration politics. Remote Sensing will be premiered at the Duisburger Film Festival on November 7th. Ursula Biemann <biemann@access.ch> is an artist and videomaker focusing on gender and globalisation issues in economy, media and the urban space. Lives in Zurich, Switzerland ________________________________________________________________________________ raum 3 mailing list http://lists.minordomo.org/raum3 ------------------------------------------------------- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste fuer Medien- und Netzkultur Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost Info: http://www.mikro.org/rohrpost Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.openoffice.de
