Microscope is pleased to present the New York premiere of Peter Clough\u2019s\u00a0“In My Room”\u00a0(2015), his latest 68-minute feature video.<\/span><\/p>\n

With fifteen cameras mounted throughout a self-built environment suggestive of a jungle gym or a DIY BDSM construction, Clough filmed a series of improvisational performances in the wood structure, meditating on the silence and intimacy of this personal space. For “In My Room”, the artist fragments the recorded performances, inter-cutting between various camera perspectives and wide-angle views. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I return often to Judith Halberstam\u2019s discussion of collage in her book\u00a0The Queer Art of Failure\u00a0in which she frames ‘the act of cutting as a masochistic will to eradicate the body’\u2026 I\u2019d like to discuss cutting, fragmenting and reconfiguring my own body in relation to humor, loneliness, silence, incoherence, masochism and desire.” – Peter Clough <\/span><\/p>\n
