Katarzyna Kozyra
The Rite of Spring, 2002, 0:30 min, loop on 6 screens


The video you are looking for is no longer available.

The Rite of Spring is one of the artist´s most famous and acclaimed works. The seven-channel video installation devoted to the theme of death as a source of new life is Kozyra´s reinterpretation of Igor Stravinsky´s ballet under the same title, choreographed by a highly esteemed dancer, Vaslav Nijinsky.

The convulsive and stiff gestures, which in Stravinsky´s ballet come as a result of masterly choreographic effort, are achieved in Kozyra´s work by means of a time-lapse animation. Hundreds of thousands of shots, structuring frame by frame the movement of the elderly naked bodies, produce the disturbing effect of dancing "towards death".
