The Magnificent Seven

In the video-performance - loosely titled after the 60s western The Magnificent Seven -, an absurdist storyline is humorously staged, directed by the bemused off-screen voice of the artist. In front of the unspectacular backdrop of a Slovakian landscape, a group of seven bare-chested, middle-aged men wearing blue work trousers is blowing up and subsequently popping white balloons. The performance deals with gender relations in art production and ironically alludes to the relationship between the female producer and male performers, instruction and execution, visibility and invisibility.
