Cliffhanger, information
video performance, 00:28, 2019
dop: Wojciech Bibel
In the video performance, a motif known from action movies was used - the actor who is supposed to fall into aperture, still hangs for a moment and fight for his life. It’s just a normal day with the street noises in the background. The protagonist looks us straight in the eyes, but the eye of camera focuses on the hands. The trembling of the body and blood disappearing from the fingertips reveals the growing effort - impending fall. Slowly but unstoppably, first hand slips from the wall, then the other, with no scream, finally crashes. The viewers - incapable of intervening and helping, just condemned to watch the last seconds to finally experience the end.
The work was presented in Artburst, Berlin during Scheitern/Failure exhibition, and during Interference Festival (2019), Gdańsk
Work is the part of The PKO Bank Polski Collection
