Geumhyung Jeong

CPR Practice

As in her Short Piece «Video Camera» (2012), the excellent South Korean performer Geumhyung Jeong has again chosen a doll as her counterpart. This time it is a CPR dummy used for training cardiopulmonary  resuscitation. She treats the manikin with tender care and reanimates it until it starts to breathe, seemingly enjoying the attention. The medical training session gradually turns into a seductive erotic play ... until the dummy suddenly stops breathing again ... «CPR Practice» is a touching as well as paradoxical solo on love, death and solitude.
