Caryatid (Martin 'The Ghost')

Pfeiffer's video presents an excerpt of a boxing match of Frank Lamar Martin from which the attacking opponent has been digitally removed. The title references the caryatids of antiquity-female figures used as architectural columns-and prompts reflection on how (male) heroism is made possible by the labor and support of others. By isolating the boxer receiving the punches, the work underscores the brutality of impact and puts a spotlight on the opponent whose existence enables triumph.
