- Video performance „INVISIBILITY OF PAIN / Suicide Headache” is a part of a project dealing with the phenomena of physical and mental pain. The phenomena is invisible to the observer, but produces a very real and intense feeling for the performer. At the onstart of pain, regardless of what is currently going on around him, the performer starts to record a video of the headache. His face expression is usual, calm, without visible grimace of pain: like nothing is actually going on.
- “Those with cluster headaches may experience suicidal thoughts during an attack as a result of the pain (giving the alternative name “suicide headache” or “suicidal headache”). It is reported as one of the most painful conditions.” (Source: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache)
