Tom on Nung Hsin Hu
16 November 2009
This video is surreal and hypnotic with a creepiness reminiscent of very early David Lynch (think Erasurehead). The work makes you think of wanting to tame that banana before bringing angels into the world.

Meet
In the tradition of Hans Bellmer’s "La pouppe” this animated video continues the surreal inclinations of Nung Hsin Hu.A lump of meat, a missing leg and an eye between your legs sounds like a dream sequence i imagined by Salvador Dalí. Nung Hsin Hu hypnotizes you again with this wonderful uncanny sequence.

Dozen
Great sound editing in a dreamy video by Nung Hsin Hu. As with "Meet" the artist uses the trope of rubber gloves, breaking a dozen of eggs into a surface.
The shot is very ingenious as the camera is positioned below a glass surface, making the spectator have the view of a frying pan looking up. The artist transforms something very familiar into an uncanny experience.

Interface
A needle, a giant tongue or a humongous vulva? Sewing tight close the lips of a vagina has always been a fantasy of the surrealists (Remember "El" by Luis Buñuel).
In this video what could be interpreted as a monstrous vulva (including its fur) is shut down by an apt pair of hands with the needle ...somebody better call Sigmund Freud.... pronto!
