Quartet

Quartet, one-channel video with sound, 4:00minutes

In the short video piece quartet four women bounce a white sculpture in what initially looks like a casual social event. As the video progresses the women violently destroy the object, an asymmetrical, tilted head with closed eyes, which resembles Constantine Brancusi’s Sleeping Muse, a symbol of purity and smoothness. Towards the end of the video the women’s gentle hands are engraved in the dust, turning art into craft and converting a naïve social ceremony into an encounter with death.
