REHEARSAL

This project explores the figure of aggression and the ambivalence of the state under the auspices of cold steel.

I decided to observe people participating in knife fights to identify the pattern of their emotional and bodily reactions at peak moments. In close combat there is no time to be afraid - intuition, instincts and reaction must be ahead of the curve. A knife requires preparation and special internal and external conditions. These are people who devote part of their lives to the combat performance.
