“Winner” echoes the dramaturgy of the game and dissects its socially constructed power hierarchies and constant pressure to perform.
Through the element of dance, the work restages and radically transforms football’s most impassioned moments: elation and triumph, brutality and ferocity, suffering and defeat.
Simnett’s vivid hallucinatory world extends beyond the screen into the exhibition space. It matches and simultaneously subverts the architecture and choreography of football. Spatial barriers reminiscent of stadium fences lead viewers through the installation, while the film itself travels around the space mimicking the rapid pace of the ricocheting ball.
Marianna Simnett’s (b. 1986 in London, UK; lives and works in Berlin) multidisciplinary artistic approach brings together film, dance, orchestra, and artificial intelligence in this bold and fantastical deconstruction of the sport and its societal impact.
