同时在哥本哈根的两个个展，展出了Tony Oursler 的录像，影片，灯光和声音装置。
这些打在玻璃丝上的投影，形状就像个活着的雕塑或拼贴，单独剪下来的眼睛嘴巴，重新的再拼贴起来，创造出了荒谬好玩的扭曲令人不安的没有鼻子、前额、颈项和其他身体部分的怪物。
这些会说话的，会眨眼拥有长睫毛、柔软的双唇和白齿不停说话的人头。一直在不停的重复一些句子的片断，好像是在问观众们：“我需要注意”“你只需要带我回家”“我不认识你，但是我需要你”“你以为你很好，你晚上可睡得好不？”这些都很好玩奇异。
在这些奇怪的造型背后，是一些具有诗意的富有指责性的陈述，我们会发现背后所存在的寂寞孤独，对性的挫折，脆弱的，歇斯底里的、愤怒和缺乏安全感的。当发现这些感觉也存在于我们的内心时，这是非常有意思的。
With two solo exhibitions concurrently in Copenhagen, at Gl Strand and Galleri Faurschou, there
is an opportunity to experience a wide selection of works by the American video-, film-, light- and sound installation artist Tony Oursler.
The Tony Oursler exhibition at Gl Strand, previously on show at Jeu de Paume in Paris and at Helsinki City Art Museum, incorporates works from the past three decades.
The exhibition at Galleri Faurschou features several brand new video-sculptures, which show how Tony Oursler breaks new ground with these technically advanced works. In these new pieces, video is projected onto fiberglass sculptures. Oursler has edited a number of film clips together so that several figures and voices talk concurrently.
Resembling a living collage, eyes and mouths are cut out individually and put together, creating absurd, funny and disturbing human mutants without noses, foreheads, necks—or any other body parts for that matter.
These "talking heads," with their blinking eyes, long eyelashes, soft lips and white teeth, talk incessantly. In rhythmic, repetitive and fragmented sentences, they demand the attention of the viewer: "I need attention here," "All you have to do is to take me home," "I don't know you, but I need you," "You think you are good - how do you sleep at night?" "Let's all get along - yeah right - out comes knives." It's funny, in a grotesque absurd way.
Underlying the figures' weird behaviour and their funny, poetic and accusatory statements, we notice an existential loneliness, sexual frustration, vulnerability, hysteria, anger and insecurity. It's funny and touching as we recognize these emotions in ourselves.
Tony Oursler has, through his works, always made a point out of showing how our everyday lives are influenced by mass media, technology, consumption, sex, drugs, religion, etc. His thoughts are on the human condition in the post-industrial age.
Technically, Tony Oursler is one of the most challenging and forthcoming artists to explore the possibilities of video and has used his video images in installations, where they have been projected onto; clothes on the floor, flowers, tree trunks in a park, steam clouds, buildings and rag dolls.
This visually convincing and humorous way of attacking current and important social, psychological and existential subjects has made Tony Oursler among the most important living artists.
Tony Oursler will be on view at Galerie Faurschou until April 29.
