скульптура, перфоманс, фотография
Две первые фотографии сняты в 1973 году, когда Рэй ещё в студенческие годы, обучаясь на скульптура, интересовался телом и передачей его напряжения или покоя. Эту тему он не оставит и в дальнейшем.
Две вторые фотографии являются документацией перфоманса, осуществлённого в городе, с целью показать отношение элементов последнего и человеческого тела.
Цитаты, очевидно, сознательные. Сложно предположить такое буквальное совпадение. Интересно как две минималистичные фотографии-скульптуры превращаются в множественные перфомансы в разных городах и пространствах.

"Plank Piece I-II consists of two large framed black and white photographs in portrait format. Both images show a man pinned against a wall by a long wooden plank. He has long hair and wears dark clothes and heavy workman’s boots. The interior space shown in the photographs is sparse, with a plain carpet and white walls. In the first photograph, shown on the left, strip lighting and what appears to be a trestle table can be seen in the background. In this photograph the man is upside-down, facing the wall and stretching his arms towards the floor so that most of his body is pressed against the wall. The plank meets the man’s body at the back of his knee joints, causing his legs to bend away from the wall at a roughly forty-five degree angle. In the second photograph the man faces away from the wall with his feet hanging down towards the floor. The plank meets the man’s body at his abdomen, causing him to slump over it with his arms dangling down. The man depicted in these images is the artist, Charles Ray. The photographs were produced in an edition of seven with two artist’s proofs... (читать дальше на сайте Тэйт)"
Willi Dorner - „fitting“ in photos by Sebastian Reiser
Concept, choreography: Willi Dorner
Idea: Gabu Heindl
"...The project which takes these two ideas as its point of departure, carries forward the argument about urban space and body:
How can one work with urban spaces, how can one make them perceptible? How does the city change, how do inhabitants and transients react on changes and how can these changes be influenced?
The more the use of public space is restricted and urban space is subject to big modifications, the more there is cause for critical examination and its appearance in public.
The bigger and unhuman urban structures turn, the more they are understood as landspaces again themselves, as constructible formations. This is where we want to depart, we want to settle and build into this landscape.
We depart from a basic element, a plank, which - depending on size and number - can be wall, ceiling or door, also part of a house which creates a separation.
The second intial point is the floor structure of a tatami house with the size 3 metres x 3 metres. In Western culture the same square floor plan the base for a functionalist model, on which architects develop different types of houses.
The performers create with these single elements, the planks and the walls, installations in public space, and by the posing/laying/plugging of these elements in the ground shape they establish space... (ещё больше информации об участниках и целях на сайте)"
