SYNOPSIS

Video documents a performance entitled Requiem, which happened as a part of an exhibition Izkušnja predmeta (Experience of the Object)in Modern gallery in Ljubljana in 1989. The artist conducted the performance on his 33rd birthday. Coated with white wax make-up he immovably lies in a sarcophague for an hour and a half, as long as Mozart's Coronation Mass lasts. With the performance the author partly relived Jesus's experience and predicted the death of human kind. Focused and clear shots of the performance are blended with scenes of confused and curious audience and three grieving performers walking around the viewers.
