Choreographies of everyday life in a small town in Belarus. Through static images and associative montage, Khan’s Flesh conveys a perspective on society and the intangible power relations it is permeated by.
The priest’s ear recognizes the sins of the parishioners. The heartbeat of the fetus is monitored. Workers leaving the factory. Khan’s Flesh shows the daily routines of the small town of Telekhany in Belarus. The inhabitants move and position their bodies according to the situation and their social and professional status. A skeleton of norms and rules, completed by the active citizens, becomes a vital structure whose components alternately discipline themselves through mutual control, praise and punishment. The interwoven social structures are traced and recontextualized through a dance-like montage. The strict tableaux reveal a surreal theatricality of institutionally shaped everyday life.
