GLASSLIPS

GLASS LIPS is based on a work of video art that opened a retrospective of Lech Majewski films and videos at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2006. Rejecting dialogue and chronology GLASS LIPS tells the story of a young poet at odds with himself and with the world. After his mother dies, he is committed to a psychiatric clinic. In his solitary situation he sees his mother, his violent father, and his father’s mistresses. As his visions from the past begin to superimpose themselves over each other and merge, it’s up to the viewer to develop a new mode of interpreting.
