H&M are showing the video ”Franco” at Høstutstillingen:
Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo,
September 6th thru October 5th
and Stavanger Kunstforening,
October 15th thru November 2nd.
Website: Høstutstillingen
The video shows H&M eating breakfast.
Basis for the conversation is the previous nights BBQ.
Several details and events are discussed. A line of associations occurs leading to the analysis.
Sunsets and flying swans, the consistence of an egg and the author Ingvar Ambjørnsen are discussed.
The video is a good introduction to their way of communication with pathos, humour, theatrical aptitude, and a somewhat comical seriousness.
H&M are sitting in a couch watching a porn movie.
Reflecting lights, music and voices coming from the movie are the only evidence of porn in this video.
They are not commenting on the porn itself, but rather on details like the scenography,
hair styling and how the music reminds them of a Swedish yoga class.
H&M are getting ready for a party.
M asks H what she thinks about Franco, a guy she recently had sex with, and who doesn’t respond to her text messages.
H is hardly able to make a comment during M’s elaborations, but functions rather as a moral support and sparring partner.
The conversation includes issues such as gender gap, flirting and cultural differences.
