Christmas on Earth (Barbara Rubin, 1963, 30m)
Fuses (Carolee Schneemann, 1968, 23m)
Whoregasm (Nick Zedd, 1988, 12m)
In Rubin’s multi-projector film, superimposed images work to create a dream-like ambience of mystical sexuality; in Schneemann’s Fuses, light and vibrant colors compliment depictions of lovemaking, as seen through the gaze of a housecat; and in Zedd’s film, intentionally grotesque images of sex are juxtaposed with street scenes and “ugly cops.”
