Choreography of the Match (Testosterone) (2018) is a record of male activity on a summer Sunday afternoon. The video depicts male physicality in the iconic context of the Czech countryside. A football match as a space for collective ritual transcendence. Bodies overflowing with testosterone seem to become something more. Perhaps their own idols known from television screens, composed of pixels. Reflections of boyhood dreams in beads of sweat. You reach the goal!
