Paul Pfeiffer

Paul Pfeiffer makes sculptural video installations exploring the phenomena of mass spectacles such as professional sporting events, concerts, and horror films. In his series on basketball, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, players become performers and their choreographed movements are framed, slowed down, erased, and frozen in order to underline the sublime potential of the game and the metaphoric undertones of athletic perfection. Shown together in Texas for the first time, selections from the series will be on view in celebration of and concurrent with James Naismith’s original rules of basketball, showing at The University of Texas’ H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports.
