Sergey Shabohin
In The Shattered Epistemologist, Žák collaborates with the charismatic Berlin-based German-Beninese dancer Meïmouna Coffi. Working with a script by Žák, Coffi has created an improvised dance choreography based, among other things, on the physical gestures we use when we operate digital equipment. A collage of dance sequences and blurry, abstract footage – is a visual-poetic metaphor, accompanied by a subjective verbal and text-based commentary that places the fictitious situations within a real and specific context.
