tHIS CONCEPT BY rIKKERT VAN HUISSTEDE IS A DAZZLING COLLAGE OF PEOPLE WHO SING, DANCE, JOKE, ACT, PERFORM AND TALK ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. THEY TAKE A VULNERABLE POSITION IN THEIR STORIES ON THE THEME OF MASCULINITY. EVERYONE DEALS WITH EXPECTATIONS AND HOW THEY NEED TO BE ON A DAILY BASE. THROUGH ALL THESE DIFFERENT STORIES WE BREAK THROUGH PREJUDICES AND TRY TO GROW CLOSER TO EACH OTHER.
i created a moment based on a video of a body builder at his last show of his career. bodybuilding is about showing off, masculinity, discipline, control, the biggest body, perfection, actually everything where i struggle with.
still i connected with this video, probably because of the emotion of the bodybuilder.
there is a sweetness and softness to him, something gracefull, vulnerable (the out of context ballad helps btw) this performance is all about him and his emotions, not about the bodybuilding and the rules of bodybuilding. i translate the connection i felt with it through doing the routine synchronized with the bodybuilder, as if we are perfoming a dance. completely different, and still together.
