Filmoteka Muzeum

Footage of a performance during which the artist simply ate his meal. Sosnowski situated his action in the reality that was ultimately reduced to the verge of banality and obviousness. He created a structure that reproduced this reality, which served to verify the extent to which the performative medium, and also photography and film by extension, can reflect the reality-in-itself. The artist’s strategy generates a performative ready-made.
