THE VERY ESSENCE OF LAUGHTER IS ABSURDITY, WATCHING THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO LAUGHS OUT VERY HARD, THE BODY MOVEMENTS, THE SOUND, IT’S CLOSE TO HYSTERICALLY BEHAVIOUR.
AT THE SAME TIME IT IS THE ONLY REALLY EFFECTIVE WEAPON IN ORDER TO BREAK A TENSION. J.F. KENNEDY HAD A SAYING “LAUGHING IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.”
WHAT INTERESTS ME IS THE FACT THAT CHILDREN LAUGH MORE THAN 300-400 TIMES A DAY WHILE ADULTS ONLY LAUGH 15 TIMES A DAY. AM I TOO SERIOUS?
THE AIM WITH THE VIDEO ‘MY LAUGH’ IS TO SEARCH FOR THE ‘SOLO’ LAUGH; CAN I PRODUCE A SPONTANEOUS LAUGH WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL INFLUENCES?
WITH THE ‘LAUGHING BOX’ THE VEHICLE OF THE LAUGH IS MINIMALISED TO THE BODY OF A BOX.
