Mlody mezczyzna w przestrzeni niewielkiego pokoju pozuje do kamery. Modelem jest mlody poznanski artysta, Janek Szewczyk, zas po drugiej stronie kamery stanal troche starszy od niego Karol Radziszewski. Radziszewski znany z voyeryzmu tym razem postanowil sfilmowac swój obiekt legalnie, ale dokonujac dosc specyficznego targu. Otóz Szewczyk zgodzil na ponad dwugodzinne pozowanie pod warunkiem, ze efekt sam bedzie mógl wykorzystac w pracy prezentujacej jego udzial w realizacjach innych artystów. I tak doszlo do wspólpracy, której rezultatem jest 40 minutowy film oraz fotografia. Spotkanie to zrodzilo pewne napiecie i z pozoru naturalna relacje oparta na dominacji filmujacego (patrzacego) nad modelem (ogladanym). Jednak sytuacja przestaje byc tak oczywista jesli zdamy sobie sprawe, ze i jedna i druga strona zamierzaly czerpac z efektów owej sesji. Byc moze to Szewczyk wykorzystal Radziszewskiego jako operatora kamery podczas swojego dwugodzinnego performansu?
***A young man within a space of a small room poses for a camera. The model is young Poznan-based artist Janek Szewczyk, while on the other side of the lens we find Karol Radziszewski, a couple of years his elder. This time, however, Radziszewski “notorious for his voyeurism” decided to shoot his subject “legally”, if by a peculiar sort of bargain. Namely, Szewczyk
agreed to pose for a couple of hours under condition that he would have the
right to use the effect for his work presenting his participation in things
done by other artists. That’s how the collaboration started, resulting in
40-minutes long film and a photograph. The meeting stirred some tension as it caused seemingly quite natural relation in which the cameraman was
dominant (as the watching one) and the model was subject (as being watched). However, this is no longer obvious if we consider that it was
actually both parties that intended to benefit from effects of the session. Perhaps it was Szewczyk who in fact used up Radziszewski as hired camera
operator for his own lengthy performance?
