My friends Michael and Ingar Unveiled their monument to gay holocaust victims in Berlin this week. A video screen set into the monument shows a one-and-a-half minute film loop of two men kissing, directed by the Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, best known for his 1998 drama "The Celebration." Visitors can watch the film, which was shot on the same location as the monument, through a small window in the pillar.
Even now, there was a lot of resisitance to this monument in Berlin and some of the cultural poohbas forbade a depiction of the Kiss on the invites.
Artforum .com covers these issues really well, you read their coverage here.
