Artur Zmijewski Videos: Oko za oko / Eye for an Eye

In Oko za oko / Eye for an Eye (illustrations) (1998) Żmijewski portrayed disabled bodies of men without legs and arms. In photographs they are replaced with arms and legs of healthy men. Thus came to existence strange creatures with many legs and many heads. Another consequence was the embarrassing contact between the fit and healthy and the crippled. The healthy were introduced to the greatest intimacy, the most shameful contact, the place of the most dreadful humiliation - they touch their scars. In the film there is a sequence of a woman assisting a man while he s taking a bath; the man doesn t have feet and fingers.
