A feminist twist on the classical myth of Oedipus and the Sphinx, CUT COPY SPHINX recasts the sphinx as the uncanny hero who endures ‘cuts’ across time. Shot en plein aire on a miniature prop-set with a Dewalt drill and a gallon of honey, CUT COPY SPHINX syncs philosophy, feminism, and image theory. The film is directed, edited, scored, and performed by the artist, VLM.

In the project scenario, various ways were prescribed for the consume and disposal of modern media. From newspapers and radio to TV and the Internet. Starting from the most traditional and household: fly swatter, roll-up, boat, toilet paper, tablecloth, lampshade, curtain…Before creating complex highly artistic and other artistic methods, including press art, object, installation, action, performance.
The number 100 in the name is purely arbitrary. There could be more or less of these items in the project.

A dig­i­tal printer had been mod­i­fied so that it can con­tin­u­ously per­form print­ing on a looped-back sheet of pa­per, run­ning through cy­cles over and over again. An ink sup­ply sys­tem – con­tain­ing a 5 litre can of ink con­nected to the car­tridge is then con­nected to the hacked printer, it is thus able to print non-stop through­out the du­ra­tion of the whole ex­hi­bi­tion, about 2 months, re­lent­lessly re­pro­duc­ing the same line ‘I print, there­fore I am’ (rephrased from ‘I think, there­fore I am’- René Descartes, Dis­cours de la Meth­ode, 1637).

Through con­tin­u­ous repet­i­tive ac­tiv­ity the printer man­i­fests its own ex­is­tence, func­tion­ing in ac­cor­dance with the prin­ci­ples of me­chan­i­cal, in­dus­trial and con­sumer cul­ture, formed dur­ing the 20th cen­tury and now be­com­ing some­what ob­so­lete. This work also ref­er­ences that the ori­gin of these prin­ci­ples evolved from the in­ven­tion of print­ing tech­nol­ogy, which re­mains the tem­plate for all sub­se­quent mech­a­ni­sa­tion.

It is ob­vi­ous that the “Ty­po­graphic trance” is be­com­ing ob­so­lete and is re­placed by more so­phis­ti­cated me­dia tech­nolo­gies which pro­vide us with more op­por­tu­ni­ties for proac­tive re­ac­tion. In this con­text spec­ta­tor is pro­posed to think of the printer, as the world’s last work­ing printer, still print­ing, re­lent­lessly and point­lessly, with­out be­ing aware of the fact that new logic has come into force.

]]> An old woman examining her face literally reads out her life history and that of her family, as it appears imprinted on her skin and features. The camera follows her narration and slowly investigates her face. There is something shameless about this unrelenting invasion of personal space and the camera’s intimacy with the object combined with the amplification of detail, creates a tension which haunts the viewer until the end of the film.
