Me and AIDS

Artur Żmijewski’s video Ja i AIDS (eng. Me and AIDS) (1996) emphasizes the role of the body as an expressive medium. In the film, a woman and two men (one of them is Artur Żmijewski) engage in a painful exchange: they repeatedly with great force smash their naked bodies against each other. The video is played in slow motion and the impact of the body collisions is further underlined by a rumbling sound.
