Taking as their inspiration a passage in Lars von Trier’s film Epidemic, Superflex’s new films shows prominent figures who combine the worlds of art and finance, as they subject themselves to hypnosis. Danish artist-activist Superflex work outside traditional art contexts, collaborating with designers, engineers, businesses and marketers, they define their works as tools which have the potential for social or economic change. The artist-activists explained: “We want to experience the final stages of an economic crisis as seen through the eyes of a mayor economic player. We will use hypnosis to get us there, talk us through it and maybe even speak about what is to be seen on the other side of an apocalyptic financial crisis”. The film was shown at the Frieze Art Fair in London in 2009 as well as on Channel4.
