Gavin Hodge: Artist. One of the founders of Gorilla Tapes and a pioneer video artist to work with Britain's Channel 4 in the 80's. Hodge relocated to Berlin in 1989 and works as a freelance writer, director and online editor. Current projects include: Director for Dr Mag - short pieces for a youth magazine show for ZDF TV; Director of Potsdamer Platz - two documentaries for Sony Berlin; and Art Director on several Virtual Reality & Promo films for ART + COM e..V. The work chosen here, ZYGOSIS, was produced by the British Film Institute and Channel 4, and was originally screened on Channel 4 in 1991. He is now a permanent resident in Berlin. His film was chosen here as it provides an historical context for the political use of imagery, and yet reflects a kind of critical stance lacking in ethnically produced German works on the subject. ZYGOSIS was transmitted twice this year in Germany.
