EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE I/II, 2003 (excerpts)
DVD, 12'/26', edition of 4

Members of the Azorro super-group meet to come up with an idea for a new art project. As the conversation progresses, however, it turns out that - just as it happens in art - all ideas have already been realized. The film consists of two parts shot in different locations and is meant for exhibiting as a two-channel video screening.
The project is also carried out by Azorro 'live' - hired actors read out the film dialogue list. So far, the performance has been realized in a number of countries and various language versions (eg. Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Slovakian, Pretigal, Japanese, Portugal). 'Everything has been done' also appeared in print as 'A tragedy in 3 acts, without an epilogue' (Pub. Bunkier Sztuki, 2003, Polish and English).
The work was purchased by the Cracow National Museum and the Towarzystwo Zachety Sztuk Pieknych in Lodz.

 


 
END OF ART, 2002
DVD, 2'46", edition of 4

One of the members of the Azorro super-group falls asleep on the sofa. Others try to wake him up and inform him of a dramatic event. However, he does not respond and, eventually, sleeps and ignores the moment when art has come to an end. The whole scene is watched over by a cat - a common motif in the grand, self-referential modern artworks such as Gustave Courbet's 'Studio' or Bruce Naumann's 'Mapping the Studio'

 

 



 
PORTRAIT WITH A CURATOR, 2002
DVD, 8'

Four Polish artists on the brink of a great artistic career. Members of the Azorro super-group appear at various openings and - not asking for permission - photograph themselves with important personas from the Polish art world: directors, curators, gallery workers, critics.
