David Haines David Haines has scoured the internet for \u201ccleansing and healing rituals\u201d of the Evangelist Church in the United States, during which preachers exorcise homosexuality from male and female \u201cvictims of Evil\u201d. Haines runs the videos backwards, introduces a catchy techno beat, and highlights these brutal rituals as a performance of the absurd. The recording technique by which a message is recorded backward is known as backmasking. Since the 1970s, Christian groups in the US have claimed that backmasking is diabolical and transmits subliminal satanic messages to the listeners. Thus, Haines inverts not only the sound, but enacts a semiotic sabotage: he implies that behind this congregation of hate and fear lie desire and repressed joy. The title of the work is an inversion itself, the word \u201cdelivered\u201d spelt backwards to reveal the \u201cevil\u201d concealed within.<\/p>\n Biography<\/p>\n David Haines was born in Nottingham and he lives and works in Amsterdam.
