DAY FIRST – The Speech
The area is bounded by black walls, illuminated by dramatic lighting, a wooden platform is situated in the center. The image may be reminiscent of Lenin addressing to the crowds. The speech is intense, hypnotic, convincing … The voice resonates with the same strength as major public speeches. The public is a fictitious nation.

Branko Miliskovic was performing his new long-duration live performance on the 29th and the 30th of April 2011, in the Les Halles de Schaerbeek theatre in Brussels, Belgium. It was a premiere of his new work, entitled ASSOLUTO/ THE ABSOLUTE specially commissioned for TROUBLE #7 festival of live art. This performance was performed in two large images. The first image entitled ‘’The Speech’’ was showing the body of Miliskovic as a ruler who is announcing the greatest offensive of the battle which will never happen. In the second image entitled ‘’The Day of Defiance’’, Miliskovic took the defensive body, surrounded by four big red flags, pledging, waving, saluting and waiting for the song of Sacred War, facing his debacles and eventual triumph.

odlicna foto dokumentacija, zanimljivo
Nadam se da si pogledala i video koji sam spasao i re-editovao. Video je bio i povod najvishe.
jesam , dobro si ga re-editovao bas sam zadovoljna
odlicna je ova poslednja sirokougaona fotografija nikolaosa zafiroua
jesam, fino si to reeditovo
ova poslednja / sirok i dubok kadar fotografija nikolaosa zafiroua mi posebna
Da, to je jedina koja je uspela. Mislim da su i Nemanja i Nicolaos imali veliki izazov. Pravljenje fotografija u mraku sa jakim osvetljenjem a pogotov kad je zastava u pokretu…
Svaka im cast!
Who the best? You the best, Mr.
