WATCH: Dean Moss: Untitled (perfect human)
Untitled (perfect human) is a mesmerizing digital film by interdisciplinary choreographer and video artist, Dean Moss. Referencing Jørgen Leth’s 1967 Danish cult film, The Perfect Human, Moss reimagines Leth’s “empty” white space as a seductive kaleidoscopic world of flesh folding in on itself, offering wry observations of race, materialism, and spirituality.
The live screening of Untitled (perfect human) and Artist Talk with Dean Moss & Young Jean Lee took place on December 1, 2020.
The film was available for viewing from December 2, 2020 until December 22, 2020.
Dean Moss is an award-winning director, choreographer and media artist who makes work investigating perception and the fluidity of self. For ten years he had the great pleasure to present, facilitate and mentor some of NYC’s finest experimental artists as a curator of Dance and Performance at The Kitchen. Currently he lectures in Choreography at Princeton University and Sarah Lawrence College, plus facilitates choreographic research at Kinosaki International Art Center’s DanceCamp, near Kyoto, Japan.
Young Jean Lee has been called “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” by The New York Times and “one of the best experimental playwrights in America” by Time Out New York. She became the first Asian-American woman to have her play produced on Broadway with her show STRAIGHT WHITE MEN. She is currently working on a Broadway play commission for Second Stage and a screenplay commission for Cinereach.
