Waiting

Roman Pfeffer’s video piece, Waiting, makes use of a word game (waiting/waiter) which conflates waiting and serving. He holds two wine glass in his hands which are hit by streams of water. The fact that he is unable to serve them without moving away from the feed flow describes the equation of an overflowing artistic potential that is still insisting on its implementation. Thus reflects in a paradigmatic way the social image of an ‘artist-on-call’ whose wealth of ideals and creativity seems to be solely determined by economic demand.
