Abstract

V originále

What kind of artistic research practices would enable us to reflect and respond effectively to the urgencies of our moment? In my artistic research, I test my own limits as a documentary film-maker. Very often I feel unqualified to be the one to write about the documentary practices and so rather than write, I shoot. By creating a documentary self-portrat, I test the limits of my own capabilities to respond to the situations around me, to capture the essence of my own being as a human. I do not strive to capture "myself" but rather to explore the process itself. We tend to forget that although we consider ourselves "artists", we very often feel insecure, and this insecurity limits us from reaching beyond the safe margins of our abilities. But it is never too late to go further, never too early to find a new way of expression.
