In a Baroque church, a number of ritual-actions are performed, all at once reminding of both Christian liturgy and sports events, of dance choreographies, pop culture and fashion.
With its opulent, painting-like imagery and its numerous references to fine arts and film, the scenario defies definition and tiptoes around the fine line between humor and pathos. The tableauesque impression notwithstanding, the actions still remain performative; this is because of the ever present fact that – regardless of the number of protagonists on screen – there is only one actor as well as all technical requirements are taken care of by this very person, too. The artist spent dozens of nights in this church and completely being by oneself during the the shooting simultaneously determined and enabled the whole process.
