RUNNER’S HIGH
Runner’s High, Video, 3:06 Min., loop, 2024
RUNNER’S HIGH immerses viewers in the visceral and transcendent experience of a runner’s euphoria. The accidental recording of the camera inside Lehrner’s jacket serves as both a literal and metaphorical lens: a disoriented yet intimate perspective of movement, breath, and pulse. The interplay of light, sound, and rhythm evokes the altered consciousness associated with endurance running.
The footage captures the relentless mechanics of human endurance, celebrating the body’s ability to push beyond its limits. At the same time, it explores the tension between liberation and alienation, reflecting the paradox of long-distance running. Embracing the accidental nature of the recording, RUNNER’S HIGH transforms chaos into an abstract work of art, uncovering beauty in imperfection.
