"The
lines between male/female and animate/inanimate are blurred in
this sensual and silly depiction of a simple idea taken to the
extreme."

"Clouin's
masterly work habitually hoodwinks in very intelligent ways.
In 'Cowboy' (1998) he 'impersonnates' the bovine beast in a special
species crossing with minimal apparel but great framing, while
in 'Diana, Texas' (1999) he breaks with the glamour code by using
ringing desktop bells under his shirt."
Ger Zielinski, "Dragged
Out, A Studied Glance at Current Radical Drag" program notes,
1999, Pleasure Dome, Toronto, Canada |
"These
four videos by French artist Pierre Yves Clouin are wonderfully
odd conceptual works."
Patrick Friel, "Fade
Out: New Video, Part Two" program notes, Chicago Filmmakers
Exhibition Series, 2000, Chicago, Illinois, USA |
"This
is one of the strongest video programs I've ever seen; almost
all the works present lush, sensuous imagery within a coherent
structure that expresses the theme... Each of Pierre Yves Clouin's
four witty homoerotic pieces explores a single concept: in 'Kangaroo'
(1998), fingers seem to emerge from, rather than enter, an anus..."
