Cezary Bodzianowski's performances are witty disruptions of everyday life. Placing himself among ordinary passers-by, he transforms normal situations into a theatre of the absurd. The video Luna (2005) features Bodzianowski inside a large rotating drum with one rollerblade on his foot, another on his hand, struggling to keep his balance. Flying Helmet (2007) is a newly commissioned work, in which Bodzianowski endeavours to measure the exterior dimensions of the Globe Theatre, the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s theatre close to Tate Modern. Having calculated the surface area of The Globe, he will compare it with the dimensions of that other globe, planet Earth. Bodzianowski's investigations promise a literal analysis of the relationship described by Shakespeare between the world and the stage.
