NO ONE WILL KILL YOU, ANY MORE THAN IF YOU WERE A CORPSE, 2019, digital video, colour, stereo sound,
duration 14’, in 3 variations (gaming device)
“NO ONE WILL KILL YOU, ANY MORE THAN IF YOU WERE A CORPSE is a video in three variations that changed throughout the course of the exhibition irregularly and unannounced. A filmmaker claims fear staying alone in a pet cemetery and follows the gravedigger, who goes to pick up a corpse of a dog. Is this the case, or is it that the invasive presence of the camera lens perpetually employs childish excuses so that it pierces uninterruptedly through every private moment?
The need of recording everything through a camera, the fear of death and the human burial customs are being harshly judged by a dog that questions its own death and creates a confusion in quest of its immortality.
Finally, was it itself that was buried, the small white one from the fridge or a pillow?”
