Fair Play
Daniela I Kostova. Fair Play, 2000.
Description:
The video work Fair Play is based on a paradox. It presents a male and a female performer simulating a race. A closer examination of the work reveals the reason for their strained movements and torment--they are forced to drag their heavy shadows tied to their feet. Each “shadow” is a performer from the opposite sex. Fair Play questions gender constructions and archetypal opposites like male--female, life--death, black--white, attraction--repulsion, and love--hate. Fair Play was part of the project Anti-Feminism, Anti-Machismo, XXL Gallery, Sofia, curated by Diana Popova. This video was shown also in Video Medeja, Novi Sad, Balkan Videofest, Belgrade, Tirana Biennale 1, Tirana, VA (MEDIA.DOC), Sofia.
