Victor Alimpiev, Still from Sweet Nightingale, 2005

"The video 'Sweet Nightingale' expresses the tension between small private gestures and their collective repetition. A man slowly runs his hand through his hair to the strains of Mahler’s fifth symphony. We then see rows of people in a hall repeating the same gesture as the man and a series of other actions that are interpreted in social communication as signs of insecurity. Their movements seem to follow some secret choreography underpinned by the rhythm of the music and background noises. The artist leaves the background of the scene in darkness so as to focus the viewer’s attention on the individual gestures. The tension is released only when the crowd – once again with no warning – begin to throw the bags of rubbish they are holding into the middle of the room in a new act of protest."
