Joanna Rajkowska with her video work Upwards! turns our attention to how certain cultural and racial measures coincide with the mark of security and its administrative execution. Interviewing two of her friends for the work, both of which used to work for airport security and became respected cultural producers, Rajkowska gives visibility to the friction between role and responsibility on the one hand and to excess on the other. The work unveils how individuals operate under the pressure of a particular ideological apparatus disguised as a purely formal, administrative responsiblity.
