George Petrou
George Petrou is a video artist whose work explores the possibilities and boundaries of the body. Petrou films himself whilst challenging his body to its limits by repeating the same movement continually over a period of 8 hours, in ritualistic performances. The resulting videos are edited down to a few minutes which show the subtle and gradual changes his body undergoes in this time. Building slowly, the pieces have no narrative beginning, middle or end, but instead are intense and captivating examinations of the body and self hood, vested with anticipation.
