ONE MORE KICK

Video art, 3'40'', 2009-2010

"One more kick" is a short video with a meaningful ironic message that is slowly revealed while watching the video. Tension is created by the unfinished sentence and the repetition of kicks which at times look painful, at times full of energy and at times even funny. The suspense is continuously building up until the very end when finally the whole purpose and meaning of the performance and all letters are revealed in the video.
