Dialectics of Subjection #4
(color video with sound, 12 min. 56 sec., 2006)

The world of politics is predominantly male. Politicians became celebrities and their personal affairs overshadow their political decisions and distract public attention by feeding the front pages of tabloids. The political became personal. Nevertheless, this spectacular pseudo-availibility does not change a thing on the fact that people do not have any influence on political resolutions and no real access to power.
Dialectics of Subjection #4 shows us in an intimate setting, lying in bed and chatting about the most powerful men of the world politics. The casual and very relaxed atmosphere evokes a typical girlie talk, full of jokes, laughter and giggles. One by one, the world leaders are submitted to uncompromising judgement, admitting only the criteria of physical (un)attractivness. Ignoring the subjects' political and moral qualities as well as their significance in the contemporary political sphere, we enter into an exciting dialogue filled with racy comparisons and some surprising victories.
