Shaman

wojtek ulrich-shaman

This video shows interviews with shamans from different places in the world, during which a reverse situ- ation takes place: the shamans take drugs such as mushrooms, peyote, ayahuasca and marihuana. When they are high they answer questions on the conditions of contemporary art and its influence, the role of such institutions as galleries, museums, the role of a curator and other art- related issues.

Our conditions to explain art, which is against the wall and which cannot be reasonably explained through institutions and their representa- tives, forces us to go back to sha- mans once more.
