Art 21 Video Response, Janina Antoni


Janines art is inspired by daily activities such as eating, sleeping, etc. She utilizes these and transform them into creative pieces of art. Some of which, are her sculptures which were created by her own body. With a rare mix of both sculpture and performancestyle art, Janine has an exceptional talent unlike any other. In this video, Janine walks over water, not literally, but by means of a tight rope. By doing so, I believe she not only hoped to overcome the impossible, but wanted to portray to viewers the concept of balance. Balance is a key notion in both art and other areas of life, mentally and physically. In addition to this, Janines idea of balance is also seen in her piece Moor. In it, she had to make a rope or in this case, a lifeline, of materials that could in turn, bond together individuals who were not connected beforehand.
