"Small is beautiful
in the shorts section [London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival],
where viewers can sample a weird and wonderful kaleidoscope of
bite-sized creativity... gasp at the director's gravity defying
bottom in 'My Levitating Butt'..."

Celluloid Closet," The Independent: Wide Angle, 7-13

"Lights! Camera! Pass
the Visine please! It's time for that annual barrage for the
eyeballs called The Images Festival...Want weird? You are guaranteed
at least one odd flick every night in every program. The festival
includes such perverse visions as 'My Levitating Butt' by French
artist Pierre Yves Clouin, it looks just as it sounds..."

gets an image makeover," Toronto.Com, April 1998,
Toronto, Canada |
"This conceptual videotape
transforms a man's buttocks into the head of a giant penis. Luckily,
it doesn't blow its load."
