The idea of
provocation in my project is more linked to the unpredictability of the
object’s appearance. The issue is the reaction caused by unexpectedness:
flouting structure each time, emerging in different points of the land. The
actual “body”, as you see it from outside does not always tell us what you can
expect inside, especially when the object or the “body” appears suddenly
without any announcements. In the movie “Werckmeister Harmonies“ directed by Hungarian film director Bela Tarr
in 2000, the idea of unpredictability is very similar to that, which I would
like to express in my work. The appearance of the circus trailer with a stuffed
carcass of a whale in the middle of the small town disturbs the normal life of
the local people. The presence of strangers causes tension and changes in the
relationship between villagers. Some of them remain uncertain while some
demonstrate destructive emotions, as the mysterious situation creates a view of
‘another world’. Inner changes in society provoke people to react, however the
outcome can be always different.
