Khary Simon, a creative director and publisher based in New York, interviewed Sue de Beer on her 4 films for Daata Editions.
Are the films intended to be presented in a specific order?
No, they are separate but connected.
Is beauty fragile and or dangerous?
Yes. Fragile.
What about terror can be erotic or beautiful?
Everything.
Do you cherish objects of girlhood or wish we did?
Yes.
What is the origin of titles 1 and 2?
This poem is me
and it’s nothing but
words about you
I hope you like it
It’s from a Dennis Cooper poem – one that he contributed to my first catalogue. I think it’s beautiful. Shifts around the watcher and the watched.
The films can be viewed on Daata’s streaming service http://daata-editions.com
