The Diagonale’20 was cancelled due to official measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Shots of a dental work. Josef Dabernig as submissive patient, and also as artist who disassembles the procedures and bodies in fragmented close-ups, re-assembles them, and sets them to an uncanny, sacral sound collage. Destruction and recreation—Heavy Metal Detox makes palpable the transformative principles of medicine and art.
