Being and Doing is a fascinating dive into performance art that captures its essence and evolution from 1979 to 1983. The film’s tone is reflective, almost meditative, as it stitches together a rich tapestry of excerpts from various artists, including Tibor Hajas and Rasa Todosijevic. There’s a raw, unpolished quality to these segments that really gives you a sense of the spontaneity and vigor of the era. It doesn’t shy away from exploring how folk customs tie into these avant-garde expressions, making the connections feel organic rather than forced. The pacing varies; some moments linger, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, while others zip through different styles, showcasing the diversity in performance art. It’s a unique artifact, almost a time capsule of creative exploration.
