Emotional economy

2012, drawings on different kinds of papier, plastic foil, pinns, embraidery, different sizes, app. 50 x 60 cm

Drawings are based on the frames from the slovak movie “Jánošík“ (1962, dir. By P. Bielik). The cinematographic language uses the emotions to manipulate the viewer. The project exaggerates the emotions by adding the tears to the masculine character. By this way it ironizes the model of hero and the stereotypical womens/mens relationships.
