Abstract

The chapter introduces and discusses nine video works made in the autumn of 1991 by the Danish artist collective The Performance Group Værst [Performancegruppen Værst] to match the nine tracks on the pop-punk band Sort Sol’s album Flow My Firetear released that same year. The chapter discusses the videos in relation to other works by the group and its individual members, reflects on the hybrid nature of the videos and their lacking institutional reception.
