Synopsis

"Cracks in Civilized Landscapes" is a site-specific-public-art-queer-feminist-performance that challenges architecture. Filming the directors in the process of having sex in a church, a castle, a museum, a bank and other monuments, they attempt to deconstruct their sacred, heroic and sexist dimension. We infiltrate these buildings to decipher the oppressive power beyond their formal aspect. /"Spaces determines, control, affects behavior and participates in defining the sexual division of labor "We use sex as a revolutionary process of desecration, "the phallic tower block concretely, represents an era which has been dominated by patriarchy, authority, and hierarchy; which has been brutally moulded by the forces of colonialism, imperialism, and state domination over many hundreds of years... this way large-scale architecture provides the most dramatic visual examples of the relationship between space and power".
