Man facing a difficult choise. A performance for film. 

Artist’s Dilemma is a performance made to be filmed with a 16mm film camera in one take. The performance took place on the frozen sea about 50km east of Helsinki, in temperatures of minus 30 degrees Centigrade. The chilling beauty of the landscape is undercut by the absurd figure of the indecisive artist trying to decide which road to take – art to the left or life to the right.

一个进退两难境地中的艺术家，一部属于行为表演的影像。
