TOTART is an art project series. This time about duels. A duel between a shooter and a dummy was simulated – with live bullets.
The public order office approved this project under one condition: to cut the head off the dummy. Don’t shoot on a thing that looks like a human being. A good rule. But does a dummy without head doesn’t look like a human being anymore? And isn’t it much more brutal to behead the dummy like a terrorist than to manufacture some tops with bullet holes?
The project shows one of millions of farcial regulations of our authorities in a very cruel way. The t-shirts, longsleeves and hoodies of the inferior dueler were sold at a happening. All the sound effects used in the TOTART movie are original sounds from the shooting. Some sound like big waves, some like the snoring of a public servant. The quotes are from “rules of duels” published in 1871. Rules that are very contemporary in times of only winners and losers and nothing inbetween. watch movie
