The
7 minutes video: „Another Finger Exercise” ( Budapest, 2005)
is a very personal evaluation of the EU Expansion Ceremony (held on the
1st of May 2004 in Dublin) and an artistic reflection focused especially
on the military parade that accompanied it. Szacsva y Pál, the author
of the video seems to be deeply struck by the psychological effect of this
spectacle, especially as he at that time was a citizen of one of those countries
which were going to be included into this political formation. In the video
one can follow the parade being complemented with an improvisatory performance
executed by Katalin Kim - a trained pianist - which reflects on it both
in a sensorial and in an intellectual way. While marching with her fingers,
following first the rhythm of the military maneuvers and then the rhythm
of the European anthem she seems to quickly learn what Timothy Brennan -
a reviewer of the video - aptly called the “dance-step of obedience”. |
