‘Zwaartepunt/Ťažisko’ is a collaborative residency of Jedidja Smalbil and Martina Priehodová, hosted by the Noorderlicht Bloom festival. During this short project, Jedidja and Martina explored the center of gravity and the fragile balance between their subjects. Together they exhibited four photographs (two per person) in a see-through box in the city center of Groningen.
Besides these photographic fabric prints, the exhibition included two one-hour-long performances.
The performances consisted of improvised balancing movements carried out by Martina Priehodová accompanied by Lily Dollner (on September 20th, 2021) and Lieve van Meegen (on September 22nd, 2021). In the following section you can see an excerpt recorded on September 22nd.
