Paweł Sakowicz JUMPCORE

It is not entirely clear if Fred Herko planned to finish his intimate performance with a suicide death. He took a bath, turned on Mozart’s Coronation Mass and began to dance naked in his friend’s living room. He approached an open window several times. When Sanctusresounded, he ran and jumped out the window of the apartment on the fifth floor of New York’s Cornelia Street. Ballet dancers are said to believe they can fly. And indeed, suspended for a second in a jump, they do.

 

Jumpcore belongs to the collection of the Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw Jumpcore was selected for Aerowaves Twenty19.
