In film dyt yn Fryslân spilet sûnder dat der Frysk yn praten wurdt? Dat sucks, neffens de Fryske studinteferiening Bernlef. En dus makken se seis jier lyn in hypergeef Fryske persiflaazje (De Kameleon Sjocht Yn It Waar) op de Kameleonfilm fan Steven de Jong. Útjouwerij Kluitman wie lykwols not amused…der waard in proses oanspand en no seis jier letter moatte de studinten ta de bûse. De ludike, mar yllegale parody levere har in boete fan €11.300,- op.
Jild dat Bernlef fan ‘t simmer mei in benefytaksje fan trije dagen byinoar skrape hat. De âlvetûzen euro is betelle oan Klootman en De Jong, dat se der mar wille fan ha meie. En no…wraak? De Jong syn nije film Snuf de Hond in oorlogstijd is krekt út…of hat de rjochter Bernlef de bek snoerd?!

L.C. von Sukmeister experienced underestimated artistic concept complex while he was working on his video art (appropriation) as part of the larger New Art Video Appropriation Movement (NAVA). An Asian man and historian of Western contemporary art, having internalized the notion of male-superiority, is doomed to be frustrated when he comes face-to-face with his bigger and stronger Caucasian and art school/academy alumni counterpart. Having started from the sense of art background inferiority (as too intellectual and theoretical) to art school graduates and an attempt to mimic and outdo them, his video works have come to suggest the post-artistic or para-performative perspective of transforming the traditional roles in the art world as a self-critical process. Confronting the grand promise of highbrow art and traditional institutionalized roles in the art field, his visual mimicry of video art making in a lowbrow amateur video style together with the accompanied texts attempt to derange the legitimacy of a variety of actors such as curators, art historians, art critics and of course the art by officially certified art school people and other arrived artists. What is unique to Von Sukmeisters work, then, is the playfulness with which various attempts at instant video shooting and appropriating are made, and that with a very simple optical instrument: the Sony Cybershot 4.1 megapixels. Confronting the grand promise of highbrow art and traditional institutionalized roles in the art field, his visual mimicry of video art making in a lowbrow amateur video style together with the accompanied texts attempt to derange the legitimacy of a variety of actors such as curators, art historians, art critics and of course the art by officially certified art school people and other arrived artists.
