The popular film "The Way Things Go" by Fischli & Weiss, about a staged chain reaction of objects, is also slapstick. The viewer is faced with the morally charged question of whether it's okay to laugh at such scenes. Like the Caryatids in Greek architecture, the actors carry a burden under which they, unlike the Caryatids, threaten to collapse. The work's title, "Caryatid", is a metaphor. The opponent is cut from the scenes so that the falling motion of the injured appears bizarre. The players fall, remain lying on the grass, and writhe in pain. While Alÿs's stumbler immediately gets up and continues, Paul Pfeiffer depicts football players whose various clashes with an opponent have consequences. He acts as a humorous reminder that this subject of an artistic work is unworthy - because it's trivial, banal, and it often appeared as a déjà vu. The scene always ends the same way the art critic and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina runs onto the road and imitates a film's clapper board by clapping his hands. The scene is shot from different angles - from ground level, from a first-story window, from front, diagonal opposite positions, from the perspective of the dog, and from that of CCTV. Francis Alÿs presents a movement sequence in which a dog running across the street continually causes the same man to fall down. The double projection shows in eternal repetition a captured Sisyphus, who, with his fitness exercises, has destroyed the furnishings, including the walls, in order to then carefully clean or repair them.Ī classic in the canon of physical mishaps is stumbling. He survives this without injury and casually brushes plaster dust from his sleeve. In a domestic setting, the stuntman in Julian Rosenfeldt's "Trilogy of Failure" performs activities such as making breakfast and sweeping up crumbs he, however, enters the scene from above, by jumping through the ceiling, an action typical for his profession. The audience laughs at physical actions or misadventures, and the situations created are largely devoid of moral content. Slapstick is a special form of cinematic comedy that functions without words. The show brings together 15 works that explore this border between humor and offense, consciously crossing it at times. ![]() Humor offers psychological relief it can, however, also offend political and ethical beliefs and hurt religious feelings. Part seven of this cooperative project is devoted to slapstick, comedy, and black humor - popular genres in the film and entertainment industries that allow viewers to laugh with impunity at others' misfortune. The exhibitions are alternately curated by Haus der Kunst and the Goetz Collection. Each year since spring 2011, Haus der Kunst has presented two exhibitions of media art from the Goetz Collection in its air-raid shelter. ![]()
