VZDOR* shows power of fragility in men and beauty of aggression in women.
Two characters subtly reclaim what has been socially repressed and limited to the transactional dynamics and domination; further experienced as a loss of self…
Those two characters act out scripted scenes that manifest from uncontrolled thought and feeling process. This was first captured in series of preparatory drawings, created over period of 6 months that were later translated into a shooting scenario of VZDOR*.
* defiance, challenge, resistance, rebelliousness (from Slovak to English)
