2344 (ARIADNE'S THREAD) 2017
Duration: 1-2 hours
“Man as Bird. Images of Journeys”
(Special project of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts as the Collateral Event of the 57th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Palazzo Soranzo Van Axel, Venice)
The name of the performance changes each time in accordance with the length of the thread used to make the dress. Only by getting rid of the old can you gain something new.
The artwork tells about the interaction and interleaving of private stories and experience forming a web of life. The dress becomes the metaphor of the conventions of the existence. It is a reference to the artist’s earlier performance “Cocoon” where the observable cocoon became the symbol of the illusory security. In this case the dress becomes a “shell” that everyone needs to remove by naturally making their own path - intersecting and creating a new figurative reality
