"I look for 20-30 different volunteers from Krumau, men and women, which do the following for me: The person should stage a fall. How long they need for the fall remains their decision. The person should fall down about 7 stairs from the Plešivecké as though recorded in slow motion. It is important that it is not really a fall, but rather a slow, controlled slow motion tumble. The video camera is immobile and attached to a tripod. The view remains the same, showing the 7 steps which function as a kind of background screen for the entire video. The tumbling people fall right through the stairway image. 40 people from Krumau took part in fall.
fall addresses the bodily notion of falling and how this bodily notion manifests itself in actual practice.
