by Aimee Walleston

Flash Art, Oct. 2010, pp. 104-106

In this interview, Lars Laumann discusses three of his videos works, Morrissey Foretelling the Death of Diana, Shut Up Child, This Ain't Bingo, and Kari & Knut. Laumann discusses his work in relation to appropriation, as he appropriates and juxtaposes found footage in many of his videos, as well as the internet and pop culture. The interview also focuses on elements of cinéma verité in Shut Up Child, This Ain't Bingo, and how it has made audiences very uncomfortable, to the point where they have trouble accepting what they see as reality.
