Cinematographer Jesper Jargil (THE HUMILIATED) presents another revealing behind-the-scenes glimpse into Danish director Lars von Trier's mind with THE EXHIBITED. This time, the film focuses on a 1996 art installation concocted by von Trier. Titled "Psychomobile 1: The World Clock," the intriguing premise sets 53 individual characters inside a 19-room house in Copenhagen. Each character is governed by mood swings, which are triggered when traffic lights in each room change colors. The catch: these changes are sparked by an ant colony in New Mexico, whose random movements activate the shifts in mood. Working without a script, the actors are forced to invent new storylines and plot twists, giving new life to the concept of improvisation. Jargil's film focuses mainly on the actual exhibition itself, capturing the drama as it unfolds, ala von Trier's THE KINGDOM series. He also interviews the actors after the fact, allowing them to better reflect upon the bizarre experience and better explain the personal challenge that the experiment posed. Though not a film, "The World Clock" furthers von Trier's case as being one of the world's most inventive, challenging artists, and in capturing it on video, Jargil is able to eternalize the installation. This film was screened in April 2001 as part of a retrospective called Breaking the Rules: The Cinema of Lars Von Trier at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City. [More]
