Tom de Pekin
Animated clips and video collages of the militant artist and Parisian bohemian who findshis muse in Chinese calligraphy, both the symbols of communist propaganda and Western pop culture. He works with the relationship between text and image and reversing stereotypes, happily leeches off dominant cultures, whose icons he alters to reflect sexual minorities (e.g. transvestites and BDSM), recycles them into dada, post-modern or punk style and reacts to the marginalization of queer subcultures within the hetero-normative society. He works with LGBT magazines and took part in the visualization of Amnesty International and Aides campaigns.
