Jero on Jero: A Balinese Trance Seance Observed 1981

1

In 1981, anthropologist Linda Connor and filmmakers Tim and Patsy Asch returned to Bali with video cassette recordings of A Balinese Trance Seance. The resulting film presents some of her reactions to Connor as she watched and listened to herself for the first time. Jero had a unique opportunity to spontaneously and consciously react to and reflect upon the experience of possession. Her comments provide insight into how she feels while possessed, her understanding of sorcery, and her humility in the presence of the supernatural world. More mundane thoughts are revealed as well, for example the importance of the fine appearance of her house. Jero On Jero could most fruitfully be used as a companion to A Balinese Trance Seance, which would be shown first and followed by a discussion, before screening Jero Tapakan's own response.

This time the confrontation Teresa Tyszkiewicz with the matter proceeds in a close analysis, although the artist's strategy is still based on the spontaneous expression of subjective experiences and impressions. Tyszkiewicz creates situations in which surrender may conduct on their premises all kinds of "tests" in order to locate their conceptual center and create the archetypal image. Starts at the numerous references and meanings, which includes formal, visual and semantic game. The artist uses the most mundane matter, and its original power of symbolic interaction, to create aesthetically refined images with his characteristic abstract beauty. Among those addressed in the film political themes (presentation of the issue of the weekly "Solidarity"), and the fight that at the end she goes with a heavy, linen sackcloth. The film ends with colored feminist scene serfdom after a failed attempt to revolutionize the fossilized perception of gender and female sexuality.

The registered activity, the artist uses a wide range of physical and visual expression to refer to the issues of birth, physicality and sexuality, both in the semantic and iconic. It also refers to "shocking" the language of performance art operating with nudity, violence, or, as here, using dead animals. Despite the physical and sexual striking impression share, the artist remains all the time in the garment. At the end of disguises, but from the eyes of the audience hides her tight cocoon. Constructing a symbolic expression of a structured situation is accompanied by a strong emphasis on the visual dimension of the action. Sophisticated structure semantically-formal Tyszkiewicz present in the films are played in the material world and translated into performance art.
