It Will All End in Tears

It Will All End in Tears

A depiction of feelings of partly mystical love between two men of two different generations. The first of three acts which takes place in New York chooses a hazy oriental garden as its setting where a man wanders about looking for a young man. The second act refers to a citation by Jean Genet from the Miracle de la Rose. This time the protagonists are in a deserted courtroom. Men who could be confused with the jury start screaming in a rather comical manner the words from Cole Porter’s famous song I’ve Got You Under My Skin. Finally, the last act takes place on the roof of Silver Cup film studios in Brooklyn, where we see the two men before watching some fireworks which illuminate the New York skyline. Despite changes of decors and action which could seem beyond understanding, the story of this meeting presents an astonishing melodramatic continuity.

Jesper Just

Jesper Just is a Danish artist who lives and works in New York. From 1997 to 2003, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His work has been presented in several solo exhibitions, in venues such as the Galerie Perrotin in Tokyo, Japan (2021) the Galerie Perrotin in New York, USA (2020), the MAAT in Lisbon, Portugal (2019), and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France (2015), whereas he has work in museums including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Tate Modern in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2013, Jesper Just represented Denmark at the 55th Venice Biennale. Jesper Just uses the language of cinema to confront and divert the stereotypical Hollywood constructs of masculinity and femininity, as well as the biased representation of minorities and people with disabilities in mainstream culture. His short films and multi-projection video installations question the mechanisms of cinematic identification and break viewers’ expectations of narrative closure by unfolding surrealist, emotionally ambiguous, open-ended, and often silent situations or encounters. Interested in how public and private spaces define and shape human interactions, Just further plays with the notion of architecture as a performer, to echo and expand his characters’ enigmatic journeys.
