Blithe Tragedy

The video takes off from film genre conventions, and moves into a mixture of self-generated mythology and history with extravagant use of cinematic languages. Ambiguity and complexity are the strongest sensations when experiencing this piece. Through beautifully arresting images, the film explores the uncertainty and complicity between love, sex, violence and death, provoking a temptation of the inextricable aesthetical dislocation of contemporaneity. Further, Huang pushes this subject to a limit by using all male actors in the film rather than conventional syntax of such, which is a malicious deconstruction of power, order, regimentation and value. The outcome of film is complicated in its own beautiful superficiality; the ambiguity makes us quickly question our own feeling towards the queerness of image but also the instinctive blithe reaction to the beautiful fact of image. The viewer has to complete the story for themselves somehow, and so elicits their own desire. Huang produces an intoxication of the rationalised aesthetical irrationality of contemporaneity.

The film unearths declassified documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy for more than 60 years - rendering our contemporary energy and military policies virtually indistinguishable.

“Blood and Oil - The Middle East in World War I” examines the devastating conflict and Western political intrigue that laid the foundations for wars, coups, revolts and military interventions in the Middle East. After the end of World War I, most of the Ottoman Empire was carved up into “spheres of influence,” controlled mostly by the British and French. The remaining territories became the modern state of Turkey in 1923 - after a live-year struggle by Turkish nationalists against Western domination.
