Artist
Jesper Just
Born in Copenhagen, 1974 and lives in New York, USA
Danish artist Jesper Just makes videos that explore gender roles and the way in which cultures generate and understand them. Using lush scenery, glossy production, and social codes from Hollywood movies, Just subverts traditional male roles by presenting men who overtly express their emotions. With little, if any dialogue, the actors unpredictably sing in chorus, embrace, and weep, creating suggestive, yet enigmatic situations.
