Western culture generally resists falling because it provokes fear and represents failure. „spill” is a three-channel installation focusing on the fractions-of-a-second short inertia that masculine bodies experience during a fall. Falling - or failing - they are both powerless subjects and agents of change. The installation oscillates between photography and film, inspiring a reflection on the meaning of vulnerability for contemporary masculine identity.
