Pain (Bol)

Ivan Faktor

Pain

After the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and the initial fear of the development of symptoms, Ivan Faktor decided to visualize his own disease by recording himself, his wife, the yard, the street, the studio, and above all the light attractions in the apartment and studio with a cell phone camera. After 50 years of filmmaking, his passion for creating art and living persists. Faktor records everyday life, but disrupts the daily structure by intervening in reality using light attractions or optical obstacles like his own trembling fingers. Through interventions in documentary situations, he creates a completely surprising inner world of an artist imprisoned in space.
