RAVNOVESJE / BALANCE
Wolfgang & Christoph Lauenstein (HBK Hamburg/Gesamthochschule Kassel) ZRN (Nemčija)/FRG (Germany),1989, 35mm, 8′
Na lebdeči ploščadi živi skupina previdno postavljenih mož. Vsi se zavedajo, da ploščad ni stabilna, in če nočejo zgrmeti v smrt, morajo obdržati to krhko ravnovesje. Njihovo razmeroma harmonično razumevanje pa razpade, ko eden od njih na ploščad potegne težak tovor. In ravnovesje se poruši v več kot enem pomenu.
On a floating platform lives a group of evenly and carefully placed men. Each man is aware that the platform is unstable and in order not to fall to their deaths, they maintain a careful balance. This reasonably harmonious understanding is lost when one man pulls up a heavy trunk. In the ensuing struggle, balance is lost in more ways than one.
