BURST is a Photographic performance event - In a party atmosphere people are asked to recline on a chaise-long and blow up a balloon until it bursts. They are filmed and a video-still of the crucial moment is immediately captured onto disc and then printed out. Over the evening a light-box display of these images starts to grow.
Rotozaza plays with the idea of 'taking away the responsiblity to perform', this time for the camera. Involuntary reaction obliterates any decision of how to present oneself for this unusual 'portrait', and in so doing creates a 'natural' picture of mankind's expressive machine in a split second of crisis.
First made for LIFT - London International Festival of Theatre [2001] and then at the ARCOLA THEATRE [2002]
[BURST] is an ongoing project. contact us here > admin@rotozaza.co.uk
The idea came from a moment in [DUE] [Milan, Italy, 1999]
