PENALTY KICKS
2007
video, loop, TV, crates of beer, beer
-
video shows penalty kicks performed by several men, while I, in the role of the goalkeeper, am trying to save the penalty kicks
the actions are taking turn fast while music is played in the background
constant repetition
the viewer can help himself with a beer and sit on one of the crates, creating a feeling of comfort
the problem of my own position as an individual/artist is presented through the undesirable position of a goalkeeper
although I have a very modest knowledge of football, typically male thing, by playing it I create a feeling of acceptance and belonging
criticism of gender stereotypes, the rules of mass games and imposed values
