More clapping to come…

Clapping within the clapping, or maybe individual group clapping or authentic duplicates…it all applies to another video piece, which is a continuation of “the clapping exercise with the use of capital letters and the lion king as a background”.
The piece itself is paradoxical in a way. The clapping is almost never performed on its own. It’s mainly placed in the context of the group experience. The repetitiveness of the gesture, in the physical and historical context allows me to extend the process of repetition in the way where the gesture is repeated within the gesture. After performing it once and recording it, I recreated the exercise few more times and recorded every single performance.

Another idea of using the clapping is developed in another piece in which the actual physical clapping was performed once only. After making the first video I simply reproduced it by recording it from the TV screening. Than I produced another video, which was based on the piece recorded from TV. And so it goes. All together I made 12 pieces, where the only one was actually performed. The rest of them are records of records.
